"The hotel benefits from being joined to 2 others that you can use, so there is an outdoor pool that has an exotic feel with palm trees and loungers etc."

a decent stay with some drawbacks

friendly staff bus stop poor water pressure cold room

the reception staff were helpful and friendly. breakfast was fine. i appreciated being within walking distance of the town center. also, a bus stop was conveniently located right outside the building.

i found the water pressure in the shower to be poor. the room felt cold and the heating was not working. the decor looked old and outdated.

Fantastic Stay!

lovely pool spacious room friendly staff

The swimming pool was lovely! It was a great way to start the day. The rooms were also very spacious (which is always a plus). The staff were friendly and helpful. I felt very welcome during my time here.

The hotel location is not central. You need a bus or taxi to get to the town center.

indoor pool heated pool hotel facilities breakfast option staircase location creaking noise loud noise uncomfortable bed

The indoor heated pool was a nice amenity. I used the facilities at the hotel next door. Access was convenient. Breakfast was good and provided a decent start to the day. Activities were available, giving guests options for entertainment.

The room was under a staircase. I heard creaking noises all night. A function across from my room caused LOUD noise. The bed had springs. It was the most uncomfortable bed i have ever slept in.
