The breakfast was good. In the toilet there was no soap in the dispenser. We got bored in the room because the reception of tv was very very bad.

The hotel is currently having some renovation work done to it and i was lucky enough to have an excellent newly refurbished room with air conditioning that was an absolute godsend on a day that topped over 30oC However, there was no wifi available and my phone signal wasn't the greatest, so it meant working on my laptop a slow process. I'm sure that in time, the wifi will be sorted out once all the refurbishment work has been carried out.
