We had a fantastic new year's holiday at this hotel. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of dishes to choose from. We especially enjoyed the salads and the freshly baked bread. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the service was excellent.
The rooms were a bit outdated and could use some modernization. the bathroom could benefit from some renovations.

We had a great time at the hotel! The room was basic but clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The food at the restaurant was delicious, with a good selection for breakfast and dinner. Despite some minor issues with the drains, they were quickly resolved. The pool area was always busy but we always managed to find a sunbed. we had a homely experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
