The hotel is always clean. The lobby is bright. Most of the staff speaks English (and the ones that do not are quick to get staff that does). They are helpful with bus schedules and local info. Family run business.
Now the bad about the hotel itself: They charge 5 Euro per day for slow Internet (512k/128k) and it is only available in the lobby.
They have a safe which is not safe due to the flimsy key and cannot be reached by short 5'3") people. The entrance key is old and mammoth. The staff wants the key before you leave the hotel so that makes it a little better.
The room itself: very clean and cozy feel. The bathroom tile is nice but small. Definitely no more than one at a time in the bathroom. The bed (queen size-ish) was 2 singles put together with no box springs. Made cuddling hard with the cracking the middle.
Food: Our plan came with breakfast and dinner each night. Breakfast is self serve. They had 4 types of juices, milk, water and coffees, including cappuccino. they also had cereals, oatmeal, various breads, croissants, and leftover desserts from the night before. They also had hot dishes such as hams, sausage, eggs, and hard boiled eggs. Cold items were beans,tomatoes, salami, salad, and cheeses.
Dinner consisted of 3 courses every night. The starter (appetizer), main course and dessert. Every night they changed the menu (except for 2 of 3 desserts). The starter and entree always had one vegetarian plate, one meat plate and one seafood plate. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the dinners. I always left completely stuffed and the food was always fabulous.
The wait staff was mostly attentive and polite (to your face). We heard them call other guest mean things as they walked away.
We went off season (mid-March) and based in what it cost us I thought it was too much. I found this hotel elsewhere for as little as 22 Euro per night. Try to book through a agent and you may get a better rate.
