I had stayed at Hotel Antares before (when, I think, it wasn't yet part of Best Western) and chose to stay again because of its location (quiet) and the relatively high standard of service and rooms. Unfortunately the standards have slipped considerably, starting with the extremely poor breakfast buffet (no fresh fruit, dull bred, only one kind of cheese, undrinkable coffee) and ending with the dirt in the corners of the room and bathroom. At twice the rate of the comparable Ibis at the foot of the castle hill, the Antares is clearly over-priced and I would not stay here again.
On the positive side, staff at reception were very helpful when asked for information and with taxi bookings.
