I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is great, very quiet and peaceful, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The kitchen staff, in particular, were outstanding—very helpful and kind. However, there are some areas for improvement. The staff could be better prepared when assisting foreign guests, and the breakfast could use more variety and quality. The swimming pool was clean and looked nice, but the chemicals in the water were too strong and caused eye irritation. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement

Liked: Cleanliness
I like this hotel and will use it again. However i was disappointed that a sofa bed was left made up in my room when i am a solo traveller. It meant i did not have a sofa to sit on. In addition the sauna was out of use. This hotel is not a cheap option but i expect better when you are paying a pre.ier rate.

I recommend the Premium Room

We had a Premium Room this time which was excellent in most respects. The bed had an undersized mattress on it for some reason, which made it a bit too narrow for two people (may be different in other rooms). Other than that it was very comfortable.

Very good

Very good, friendly staff, good breakfast, dinner was also good. The only thing I can fault is that glasses kept being left in the corridors by guests, bit of a hazard for other guests and need to be cleared, but really the fault of guests…you wouldn’t leave glasses in the corridors at home would you?

There was a shortage of towels and toilet rolls throughout the hotel. The pool changing rooms were soaking wet and dirty and very tired looking with plaster coming off the walls and no body wash in any of the showers.
