"The listing says “sound proofed” rooms. This was not the case, I could hear my neighbours tv as if I was sitting in their living room. The train comes past every 45 minutes and makes an horrendous sound when it does. I would not stay here again."

"We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the pool and the spa area. We were just stopping overnight. It's an odd setup - a hotel attached to a gym/spa but we appreciated the amenities. Also convenient was a Carrefour store across the road. Not the most scenic spot but great for an overnight stop ..."

"The price is like an apartment of a 4 star hotel. But they charge you for everything.

On the other hand you can hear everything ..."
