The experience was excellent from the point we checked-in to the time we left. We were checked in by a simply wonderful lady called Ewa! She must be one of the most friendly and courteous person that we have come across!! The room was clean and spacious! Our only "complaint" would be that the matresses on the beds could be improved, but they were not bad. Luckily, we had Ewa check us out, so had the same friendly and courteous experience! She is definitely an asset!

All of the staff were polite but especially those working in the dinning area. A particular mention of Francisco who was even more willing and helpful than the others (who were great themselves). These guys really made the stayt even more enjoyable. Well done, guys.

Very nice rooms, recently refurbished and friendly helpful staff. Surpassed expectations. The only downside for me were the pillows which were like sacks of cement. But I guess I could have asked for different ones. Good experience. Good value.

Upon arrival my husband was made to pay for the room which I had already paid for. When I arrived later and confirmed that I had already paid, the receptionist agreed to refund my husband's card, however she advised that this would take 5 days! Very annoying to be £150 out of pocket with nothing offered for the inconvenience.
