Stayed in the windowless room - the sheets had a suspension red coloured mark on them, yellow stains on the floor around the toilet (which I wouldn’t normally care about). But the constant banging of doors that felt like they were right next to our heads as we “slept” was too much.

The property was clean, but it needs a bit of an uplift: some doors won't close properly, etc. It was a good stay in general, but the bar was mostly empty with what looked like no barman at the bar. The location was not bad, however prepare for a nice 10-15 min. walk to the area where you coud have a lunch or dinner.
