Amazing Stay! Highly Recommend!

excellent heatingunderfloor heatingcomfortable bedsdelay at luggage room
The room had excellent heating. It was great in January! The bathroom even had underfloor heating! I found the beds comfortable and tea and coffee making facilities were available. Breakfast included croissants and coffee for €4, it was delicious and a real bargain!
On Sunday morning, I had to leave my bags in the luggage room. I was advised staff would be around from 7 AM. I ended up waiting until 8:20 AM. This was not ideal!
