Breakfast was not as good as expected. My breakfast was served with a dried up fried egg with bits of egg shell. That said overall a pleasant stay good value for money.

Disappointing
I found the room very nice. However it was not particularly clean. The shiwer head leaked badly and i had to refit the toilet seat. Breakfast was disappointing. The tables were sticky from the evening before and the eating experience was very disappointing. There is absolutely no way that i would stay in this place again.
