Ask at the bar on arrival for a glass of prosecco. Told there was non. Told later there some in the cellar to be brought up later. Directions to room rushed and inaccurate. Had to return to reception and request some to take me to my room. No drinking water from tap, both taps ran warm water, had to request water from reception. Car blocked in in the car park. Asked reception for support, they didn't even check if it was a staff car blocking me in. Only response was :we dont keep car reg records". Breakfast cold and condiments were shared from large pots....not very hygienic. Reception/bar staff conduct was very matter of fact. Would never stay again.

The staff were very friendly and the room was a decent size with a nice bathroom. Breakfast was alright, although I think the breakfast should be free for all guests as its a small buffet with a very limited variety and it's the same breakfast each morning. The big issue is that the hotel is not very accommodating. A washer & drier is advertised but you are not told until you are there that you have to pay for a separate cleaning service that takes a day or two to clean your clothes at an extra up charge. The car park was extremely small and again you shouldnt have to pay to park your car at a hotel you are paying for.. we could not get parked throughout our stay and spent far more than intended on parking expenses due to this, its hugely inconvenient. Another issue we faced was the lack of cleanliness. We stayed here for a week and during that time housekeeping did not vacuum, change our bin, put new bed sheets or pillowcases on, put out new cups and the surfaces were dusty. They would only bleach the bathroom and make the bed. On the brightside, the location of the hotel is great, right in the town centre and very safe with restaurants and supermarkets close by.
