Mouldy Bath

The mould in the bathtub and poor general cleanliness was the main downside of this hotel. Carpet had been poorly hoovered (if at all) and all fixtured heavy wear & tear. Large stains on the carpet floor. Reception staff friendly, decent bar attached. Nice breakfast with a wide range available. The swimming pool and sauna was great, limiting the number of people in the pool by pre-booking was appreciated to keep the medium-sized pool from being overcrowded

Mediocre hotel

Front desk was lovely. Easy check in, even though we arrive early they gave us one of the rooms to put our luggage. The gentleman was friendly and vey courteous. House keeping was a different story, actually one of the days our room was not cleaned at all. We made our own bed...

Unprofessionalism

One thing I was really upset about regarding my stay was that I had contacted the staff and had even spoken to them on the phone in order to request for an additional celebration arrangement a week beforehand for our one year anniversary which I was very much looking forward to. They even agreed and sent me the celebration bundle service they provide. But later they stopped responding to me and ignored my messages. I really wanted to surprise my partner. I'm gutted.

We had an amazing stay . The reception staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us . We got an early check in as our room was ready , which we were very grateful for ..we had an early flight . The kids loved the pool and the fact that there was two tvs in the room. Would definitely recommend to friends and family !
