I would stay there again as I have stayed before several times with no problems

6.0

The room was well sound proofed given that it was the English/Argentina semi final

the television didn't work, there was no internet, and the windows didn't open much given the heat. The staff grizzling about their lot in the morning. The fact that there was only a continental breakfast and this was not made clear.

Very good value for money as a very last minute booking. Good breakfast.

6.0

Breakfast was excellent and very good value for money

Bed was "interesting". The bedroom floor (obviously due to it being a VERY old building) was on a slight slope, which meant that whenever I turned over in a particular direct I felt like I was about to roll out of the bed! It did NOT, unfortunately, make for a good night's sleep.

The Courtyard room was in the car park which made for quick and easy unloading/loading.

The en suite door didnt have a catch so couldnt be shut. The wetroom shower made everything wet, a curtain to contain the spray would help. No ventilation in the bathroom. The breakfast was very basic with little choice.
