Exceptional

Liked: Absolutely wonderful stay!From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well cared for. The room was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect—close to everything yet peaceful at night. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. Truly a 5-star experience—I can’t wait to come back!

Did the job for a...

Liked: Quick check-in, was staying for a wedding the next day and just needed somewhere close to the venue. Pretty basic amenities and did the job. Room was clean and bathroom had a nice shower. They were able to provide shower gel etc.
Disliked: Room was very hot overnight, couldn't get the temperature control to work at all. Breakfast was very average, there was lots of choice but it was very low quality food or lots of sweet pastries and cakes. Coffee machine wasn't working properly & the juice dispenser was just outputting water.

Liked: Had a nice look about it
Disliked: Menu was lacking in choice and very basic….. 3 or 4 choices. Definitely needs a boost in the food department of the restaurant.
