A real hotel not a hostel or guesthouse which makes a welcome change if you are traveling for a longer time.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We asked where we could hire a car from and were told thay could arange that for us. Sure enough one hour later a car arried at the hotel (much cheaper than we'd seen advertised online) and we were able to just leave it at the hotel for collection when we were done with it. Staff also offered information on trips, where to go to eat etc. Very good service.

This hostel was ok and was in a good location. The ensuite was good with an excellent shower. It's just a shame about the town we stayed in, not our kind of place at all. Each to their own I guess.
