“Not a hotel it’s a student dormitory that is overpriced with small bathroom and very basic facilities”
Not a hotel more a student dormitory. Bathroom tiny and access to loft area dangerous given narrow spiral staircase. Room very basic and overpriced.

Central place on route 1, amazing view and cooperative people, it has the charm of a college - but for a stop over totally fine!

Highly recommended for the fans of the movie “the shining”!! This student dormitory magically transforms during the summer in an expensive hotel which resembles the hotel from Stanley Cubrik’s movie “the shining”. In every step inside the building you get the feeling that Jack Nicholson is watching you and is ready to hunt you yielding an axe in his hand and take your head!! The hotel is close enough to some places of interest which is good. The personnel is very polite and really helpful.

We were disappointed with this stay. Wish we had looked more at the reviews before booking. It is student dorms turned into a ‘hotel’ during the summer. There was a strong smell from the bathroom. Not value for money, being very expensive for what it is and its location. Would score more highly if it wasn’t €200 a night.
