"The hotel was very convenient to the town and the room was very spacious. The bed and the pillows were very firm ,not so suitable for a side sleeper. Cleaners don't automatically come every day, you need to scan a QR code to book the cleaners. There was a small fridge in the room which was very convenient. The TV only had terrestrial channels. Staff in the restaurant at breakfast were not friendly at all sadly. Overall, the hotel had a lot of benefits and i would stay again"
