Very good breakfast, safe parking on site
It was difficult to find the entrance to the carpark for the hotel.
Safe parking with barrier entry. €10 per night.
Restaurant was the only place to eat in the evening due to refurbishment. Food and service were excellent although a bit pricey
The roof top bar was closed on the Wednesday night when we stayed
Separate toilet and shower room ( no door on shower room ) which was handy. Lighting in shower room wasn't very bright, not good enough to put your make up on !
Selection of teas was limited to either green tea of earl grey.
We felt that the pillows were too soft and there was no opportunity to change.
Breakfast selection was extensive, we enjoyed our meal.
Overall a good stay but could have been a bit better for the price
