The open plan area serves breakfast and evening snacks but the main restaurant runs independently in the adjacent buildings as a bar bistro and fine dining restaurant. These buildings, which share access and parking with the hotel would seem (my guess) to have been the original hotel buildings, now house just the ‘social areas’ such as the meeting and conference rooms as well as the restaurants. Very popular, the walled courtyard must provide outside dining for a great deal of the time.
As well as the cheap cabled internet connection, which is very high speed, there is also a Wi-Fi installation using an outside expensive provider. I have now found a number of hotels where there is a Wi-Fi link at 10 to 20 Euros a day, and a near free or completely free wired service in the rooms. One explanation offered is that the Wi-Fi installation was put in some time ago when the provision was costly but that the fall in cost has enabled a duplicate service to be added cheaply. Most hotels have indicated that they will dispense with the expensive Wi-Fi and add their own free system when their contracts area up. If you have shares in a service provider I suggest you dump them now…
