cramped bathroom faulty light

The bathroom felt quite cramped. It was hard to move around in there. The shower door opening was limited, I struggled to get in and out. I thought it should have been fixed . It was promised but the broken bathroom light remained faulty until my departure. This was very annoying.

great variety helpful staff depressing room small shower

Breakfast had a great variety. The staff in reception were very helpful and kind. We checked in and out easily and someone even helped unlock the safe when we locked it accidentally! Kitchen staff were also very kind.

The room was a bit depressing, it needs modernizing. The bathroom was not good. The shower was very small. I had to turn sideways to enter it.
