Beautiful little hotel shared with the Museu hotel. We had a side balcony overlooking the river, pool and terrace. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Staff were lovely and helpful. The location was perfect for exploring the town. I would totally recommend this hotel.

Great small village. Hotel is ok but was bit disappointed with the size of pool. In the photo it looked bigger. However the river is at walking distance which offers some water activities to do and for a dip.

No sleep, no parking, fake 3 stars!

Very old hotel. No parking on arrival was directed to park a large BMW on a ravine edge by the receptionist. This hotel is not a 3 star it a 1 star, it’s a con as they share a reception with the Museo Hotel next door which is a 3 star. Also be prepared to be kept awake till 2am by thumping music from the rooftop bar.

Great location, excellent value

brilliant spot for a birding break, good value, great breakfasts, close to castle and old town. Only snag was lack of heating and a dodgy wardrobe door. No restaurant which meant limited options out of season. Watching the 40+ Azure winged magpies come to roost every evening made up for anything else!

A clean, comfortable convenient place.

I found the accommodation to be comfortable, clean and convenient. The add-on breakfast buffet was also a good value. My only complaint was that no one was there for me to check in for at least five or 10 minutes. Supposedly you could check in until 10 PM and I arrived at about 9:15 PM, other than that my three night stay, there was very good.

Great Location. Great Value.

Wonderful location with view over river and at base of steps up to the town and castle. Balcony the size of a small apartment. Comfortable bed. Shame a fridge isn’t supplied as, even in April, the temperature is in the thirties. Lovely to buy food from the hotel snack bar and eat on balcony watching the house martins dive and glide!
