10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was right across from the Tram. 5 minute walk into town. The front desk staff was welcoming and very helpful. Nice selection of food for breakfast. Would highly recommend this hotel."
"This was our first stay at a Westotel. Having stayed at many premier chain hotels, I can say this was one of the best. Our room was large, fully equipped and spotless. Because we had travelled all day we decided to eat in the hotel. I am rarely if ever impressed by the quality or variety of hotel food. This was a truly excellent meal with good wines "
"Excellent, everything good, spotlessly clean, good kitchen area, and nice large shower, comfy bed, just remember that on top of your room fee you have to pay 250 euros deposit. "
"Great value stopover hotel. Clean, spacious, friendly, nice restaurant on site, beautiful town within walking distance.
Slightly confusing trying to find the entrance (same as the restaurant) and the car park, which was full, however we managed to park on the street (receptionist showed us where) which was actually cheaper!
Recommended. "
