“Very nice, well located hotel”
My girlfriend and I stayed here June 08. Based on our experience of the hotel chain and this hotel's location, we decided to stay. On arrival, reception staff were friendly & helpful. Their english was generally very good. Our room, on the 4th floor, looked out on to the main road below. The view was pleasant with a green area down the centre of the road with palm trees. The noise from traffic was not bothersome. The room itself was of a high standard. It was spotlessly clean with air con. During our stay we had breakfast 3 times, which we particularly enjoyed. Although it seemed slightly expensive initially, it was essentially an all you can eat buffet. There was an amazing selection of food & drinks including fresh fruit juices, fresh coffee, tea, meats, fresh fruit, toast, pastries etc. We used some other hotel facilities including the bar & the leisure facilities on the rooftop. The pool was small & quite shallow, but it was good to just lounge around in. The sauna was also small, but adequate. The gym only had a few items of equipment. The location of the hotel was perfect for us. We wanted to go to the beach & to the city centre & we could get to both easily by catching the no. 19 bus, which stops almost right outside the hotel. This was a reliable and cheap way to get around. Nearby there is the science and arts complex, an architecturally impressive place & within easy walking distance. There are some great restaurants also nearby. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
