10/10 Excellent
"The breakfast here is really good in comparison to other hotels (fresh made omelets are always a win) even if the rest of the fare was the average you get anywhere else. Service was good. Our room was clean and spacious, and although a big dated (older furniture, older mini-fridge, old style bathroom, the hand-rest of the sofa was peeling) it was a comfortable stay (except for the pillows that were not great)."
