The mini bar fridge did not work- it was warm . I managed to accidentally lock the room safe and the staff were helpful and responded straightaway . When I wanted help... More

We spent two nights in a large first floor room with spa bath/shower. The breakfast/restaurant is dark and crowded but we ate well enough. The position on the square with outside seating is rather pleasant. Our large bathroom was excellent. Curtains and bed could be improved a little. Has a lift. More

We stayed at the Hotel Ester for 4 nights with our two teenage children in a family room. The room size was adequate. The room was furnished simply and was clean. However, the room smelled overwhelmingly of stale cigarettes, particularly in the bathroom - we are non smokers so this was off putting. After several days the smell disappeared. The... More

This hotel is decidedly underwhelming: - decor is very drab - staff are doleful - buffet breakfast is terrible - beds/ pillows are cheap and uncomfortable - shower is in effect hand held only in deluxe room (#26) - wireless is unreliable - bar fridge is noisy - no turn down service More
