We found the Manager Areef was very efficient. He was very prompt to attain any thing we asked for. Rooms were reasonably clean. We would advise to provide wash basin in the kitchenette in the first room.

Although the room was clean, I don't think that the room was cleaned during my stay. The toilet did not flush properly. I could not find the free to air channels on the TV. The shower had nowhere to put soap or toiletries I could not sleep the first night because of roadworks nearby and my room was on the side where the roadworks were being done and not away from the roadworks. I would have thought that guests would be accommodated in rooms away from the road works. The room was very basic. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast options were reasonable although there was never any multigrain bread available

Room as expected and stayed before. Kids loved the pool. But reception just isn’t open enough to actually take advantage of the ‘free’ breakfast as can only collect after 8:30am.. and it shuts at 8pm the night before so not that great. Poorest area was the washing machine… free to use which is great, but after trying it, no cold water getting to the tub so just spinning with no water so not getting clean. Then told staff, came and looked, put it on warm and said it was fixed… stood there watching the hot water go in, when it stopped, opened it up and half full as still had no cold water, and it was draining out the bottom. Could tell he wasn’t interested in actually fixing the problem so I had to take my half wet, dirty clothes to a 24hr washer…
