Room was v clean ,comfy bed, spacious but rather dark at night with no central light , room heater in room 405 very noisy could not leave on when trying to sleep. Breakfast was very hit and miss,not all items available at the same time we had to go back several times to get a full fried breakfast,ran out of white bread at 09.45 with 1.15 hours to go until breakfast was over. All in all good value for money apart from the breakfast debacle.

Not good service by Receptionist on arrival. She seemed pleasant enough but was ‘snarky’ and smug. Room cold and heating controlled by hotel. Lift not level on occasion and our concern dismissed. Another receptionist refused to freeze our cooler pack ice block saying not allowed whereas waiter said it was fine. Very limited menu. Fab view from our room and we would only return because of that.

I was happy with most things. The only complaint i would have is that there was a distinct smell of feces coming from the toilet. I thought someone might have just been to the toilet before i got to my room. However, i went out for dinner and when i came back to my room the smell was still there.
