"A lovely hotel in the centre of town. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is no parking at the hotel but it is possible to park temporarily 10 metres from the hotel drop your luggage off and then drive and park at the SABA railway station car park which is a five minute walk. There is a compact but well equipped gym which was great. I didn’t use the pool or roof top bar but they look great. Buffet breakfast was superb. There was a nice welcoming atmosphere throughout the hotel."
