Basic
Very basic but does the job. Tiny shower but bed was comfy.
This is good value for money, but it’s showing its age, so it’s a good compromise, the staff are friendly and helpful, the place is clean and I would be happy to stay here again. The real down side is the lack of air conditioning and no lift for the upper floors.
Good local breakfast, set me up for the day and a long drive.
It was a great place to stay. I chose it based on location and it was great. It was close to everything. Ot was oppose to the railway station which was important to me.

Excellent value, but tired.
This is a budget hotel, so don't expect the Ritz. But the room was clean, the bed comfortable, and it has secure parking. We easily walked into the city centre for dinner. Next to the bus and train station.

Nice but tatty
Check-in was easy but nobody there before 5 pm so no point being early. Security was good checking staff very helpful and friendly. Place needs a good clean though and does smell of damp. Continental breakfast what you would expect for the price.
Average. Staff were very nice!… but the hotel is shabby. Stinks of smoke. Noisy. Small rooms. Terrible shower. Uncomfortable bed. Tiny TV. However, parking is good and the hotel is central! Overall, at €45, fair value.
I wish there had been a bike shed. Although fairly small there was room for them. I wish we had been on the ground floor. A great value for a great location - close to city gardens and the spectacular Hotel de Ville.

Adrian Tate's review
I had been camping which was awful. Managed to get a room at the last minute which was a real relief. Staff were very kind to me ,and the room was comfortable with everything a motorcyclist could ask for. Will use Hotel Heco when I return 👍
The property had terrible smell in the corridore to room. Room was little smelly too. The window in the room didn't close properly making the wind noise all night. The staff was curteous and helpful. The breakfast was good.
Quick and easy check in. Friendly reception.
Very tired, old, and dirty room. Smelled of stale cigarette smoke. Too small for 3 adults. Cigarette burn on bed cover and curtains. Dirty stains on underside of the top bunk. Pillows were extremely poor quality, lumpy and hardly worth having.
Booked and paid for in advance on a non-refundable price. We only stayed because there were no crossings available to get back to UK that night otherwise I would have rather paid for another crossing (we were booked for the following morning) and forfeit the cost of the hotel room not to have stayed there!
Breakfast was very basic. Self service, which was fine, but poor selection of bread, mini croissants, pains au chocolate, yogurt and corn flakes, but no milk for them.
It was definitely cheap for a reason. Next time we'll pay a bit more and hopefully get something resembling a hotel room!

The receptionist was friendly upon arrival. Secure parking for only €2 per day. €0.70 per person city tax. The room was average. Ideally could do with abit of modernisation. The door handle in the bathroom was broken. The toilet seat was chipped all over the lid. The bathroom basin tap didn't get warm but the shower was okay.The window allowed alot of wind noise in through the night which made sleeping difficult. Only 1 pillow per person which wasn't ideal. Bedding had cigarette burns in several areas. Walls seemed to have some yellow staining. Signs of damp around the bathroom. Communal areas were very run down / in need of repair. To sum up , a cheap and cheerful stay. You get what you pay for. Would use again but don't expect 5* when paying 2* prices.

First room given was smoking, better than last visit, microwave available
Staff member was good after finally coming to let us check in. Bedding full of hot rock burns and no drink facilities.
Very basic hotel and the bar is shut not serviceable.
