Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We paid for a presenter to stay and the review he gave was absolutely amazing, he said and I quote. “I was on the phone to my wife, who asked me, do you wish to continue talking? He looked at the bathroom and bed and said No”. He said he had 11hrs sleep. Thank you for making our quests stay memorable.
Spacious and very clean room, really liked the coffee machine as opposed to just a kettle and instant coffee. The restaurant at the hotel is middle-eastern so it didn't have a lot of options for my kids.
I would stay at this hotel again.
A large clean room and very quiet. Bed very comfortable. We didn’t use the restaurant this time. Next time we’ll plan to eat here during our stay.
