Good spacious room with king bed and on suite bathroom. Clean room with early daily room service once you had left the hotel. Above average bistro and well stocked bar. Pool nice and clean with no heavy chlorination. Overall a lovely hotel for a reasonable price close to city shops and restaurants.

Outstanding service from the moment we asked for early check in to when we departed with a late checkout due to work. The staff greeted you every time you passed and the facilities met our needs. Nicely located to be able to walk around the esplanade at sunrise or sunset.
