The hotel location near the river was really good. Breakfast by the river was lovely and quite relaxing.

Our room was quite small, and the storage was not ideal. I also found the path along the river bordering the hotel dangerous to walk on.

Charming Stay by the River

riverside terracehelpful staffhigh prices

I enjoyed the riverside terrace, a wonderful place to eat while watching river turtles. The staff were always helpful and friendly (I especially appreciated their promptness). I found the gardens and pool area good. The trips organized directly from the hotel were very convenient.

The bar prices felt quite high. I paid about £3.70 for an Efes. This made it less appealing to spend evenings at the hotel bar.
