The staff were fab, so nice and friendly, the restaurant was excellent with great service, food and cocktails, very generous starters. The room was spotless and comfortable but it was really hot and only had a ceiling fan that made a noise, so I didn’t sleep well, but apart from that, it was great.

Nice clean room in good location. It was extremely hot during our stay and the provided fans just weren’t enough to keep us cool at night-AC would have been great

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The shower was extremely small, you couldn’t stand in it without touching the walls or the shower curtain. It was a shower-over-bath setup, and the bath itself was smaller than standard and not even wide enough for an adult’s feet to stand comfortably in. The room felt rough and poorly maintained, with chipped paint and marks all over the walls. The towels had random blonde hairs on them, and the duvet had a visible stain. The hallway leading to the room was so narrow you couldn’t walk down it while carrying a bag beside you. During our stay the TV stopped working, and the milk supplied was left out on the desk instead of being refrigerated, which was particularly concerning as we stayed during a heatwave. Overall, the room was far smaller than it appeared in the photos. Unless you are very small in stature, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Photos are definitely misleading.

Although staff was helpful, this hotel was not worth the money at all. It was clean but it did not look clean because sofa and kitchen supplies looked like old discards from a thrift shop.
