our main concerns were that the indoor heated pool was very cold and as a way of getting the kids out as there lips were blue was to have a spa in the room and it didn't work at all. Also the lounge was just terribly worn out and uncomfortable.

Deceived and scammed

Decieving!!! Online pictures are nothing compared to what you get. Absolutely shocking. Pool is in the underground car park. Feels like your in a dungeon and soooo old and out dated. looks nothing like the photos . got locked in the bathroom as the bathroom doors are so old . When we contacted the reception they said theres a metal skewer in the kitchen drawer to use that. How unsafe !! The beds are so old you feel the springs in your back. No warm blankets in the cupboard. The room smell of mould . The hotel overall is over 20 years old and they used the photo's when it was first built . Fridge makes loud noise all night . The microwave is sonething that should be in a museum. The couch is actually broken 🙃 DO NOT STAY HERE !! I do not recommend
