Not great. Uncomfortable.

The sheets were uncomfortable, the pillows were old and really bad, and even when I received two additional ones, they were really uncomfortable. The internet worked intermittently. Very disappointing.

Great value and a short walk to the BIC for a concert (also close to the town and beaches). Comfortable, clean and good parking - I believe parking is free if you book direct, we paid £8 as we booked through an agent. Really lovely, friendly and helpful receptionist

Hidden Gem!

Such a beautiful hotel. Real hidden gem, you would never be able to tell this looking from outside. Staff were excellent, especially Kristina who clearly knows how to make guests feel confortable and special. Rooms very spacious and nicely decorated. Amazing breakfast!

Stay in a tent it's better

Really disappointed, I paid to upgrade my room...what a terrible mistake Safe didn't work TV remote didn't work Kettle lid fell off Shower was garbage Communal hallways and landing is disgusting, at best 2* Health Club? That is a dump! Gym equipment, at least 20 years old.... jacuzzi had hardly no power jets, Positive is all the staff are lovely, apart from Maria the duty Manager who was supposed to contact me with my stay issues, how strange to this day I've still not heard from her....
