The location was acceptable. It allowed easy access to nearby shops.

the in-house bar was supposed to be open until 2 am. i returned just after midnight, but i was told it was closed. i asked for a drink, and the staff charged an excessive €27.50 for two whiskeys and coke. the outdoor terrace also closed early, so i had to smoke outside the front door.
