"The room was really big, separate toilet to the main bathroom and a walk in wardrobe with free use of the safe, this has been a great feature to our stay."

"Breakfast was awesome; something for everyone (incl. kids) and as a tea drinker I give extra points for having actual tea leaves and possibility to infuse it yourself instead of tea bags and boiling hot water only as most hotel breakfast rooms."

the room we booked for three people was spacious. it was a "privilege" room (i think) and very quiet. i appreciated that the shower and the toilet were in separate rooms.

i didn't like that there was no bathrobe available. there were also no slippers provided in the room (the hotel does have a pool). i also didn't find a trash bag in the toilet.

The location was very convenient. It allowed easy access to many local attractions. I also found the room to be spacious. The staff were polite.

The air conditioning barely cooled the room, a problem. We had to request replacement towels daily as the ones provided were small. There was a little walk to reach the underground.
