"Really good value for money. One major downside for an AM person as me is that both gym, pool and breakfast opens at 7am. Simply not possible to do it all if you have to be at a place at 8am :) So unfortunately I cannot rate the massive pool and the gym - but pool looks great Oldschoold hotel, but great beds, nice big rooms, clean. For a 4star hotel I would have loved a bit nicer shampoo and expected conditioner/bodylotion. Its tiny adjustments right, so overall good value for money. "
