Ok but not a HI expected standars

Ok hotel but not one I'd go back to. The parking even though advertised as free, in fact it is €9 per overnight stay. Additionally, no restaurant for dinner service was available and we walked into the town centre 15mins to get to nearest place. We use HI multiple times for our stay and this did not meet the usual standards. The rooms are very small for the price one pays.

Very disappointed. We had to change rooms because the first room had live electric wires sticking out of the bed head, a broken blind hanging off the window, no kettle and stained toilet seat,
