The Passage Urban & Lifestyle Hotel

The Passage Urban & Lifestyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a hotel that delivers. It is understated yet sophisticated. Breakfast in the lobby is a delight. The air conditioning was super efficient although appreciated with an outside air temperature of 33 I had to open the window to warm the room up. Bus 30 to and from the station is a bonus. For those with cardiac or lung problems the steps down to the town are challenging. That said this is a hotel you would want to stay at again,"
