"All round exceptional hotel with great staff. A wide variety of breakfast options, the restaurant was also excellent. Everywhere was clean and fresh, the Pool and bar was a great place to relax - though in the day time the road opposite could get noisy. The room was clean tidy and had plenty of space for luggage and clothes. The reception staff made it easy to book taxis and they arrived quickly. I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return in future."

Our bed was on a low mezzanine & was itself very low which didn't bother me but my husband wasn't too happy about. There are a couple of sets of stairs to get to the top studios, so if accessibility is an issue, get one on the ground floor. There is no reception, but check-in instructions The room was clean & serviced everyda. There is no reception but chevk-in instructions were received in a timely manner."
