substantial breakfast friendly staff nice smelling toiletries small bar area limited menu cocktail absence
the breakfast was substantial (i especially liked the sausages). the staff were really friendly and helpful. the room named 'girl' was nicely decorated, and the toiletries smelled nice.
the bar area was quite small, occupied mostly by locals. i was hoping for a full tapas menu in the evening, but the lunch menu was offered instead. i also noticed the bar wasn't serving cocktails.
