Excellent hotel, beautiful room, with very comfortable beds. Rooms and bathroom very clean. Loved our stay here. My only issue was breakfast, the service was terrible, the staff were faffing about trying to look busy rather than service customers, it took 25 mins from ordering for the cooked option to arrive and the place was a ¼ full at best. I would recommend you get breakfast elsewhere.

Verified traveler

Over priced for an outdated lobby and uncomfortabl
No one helped me with my suitcases up and down the stairs, which consisted of 10 steps in and out of the lobby. Upon entering the lobby, I was shocked by the appearance. I felt as if I was walking into a three star hotel it was dark and dated, and the reception desk looked like the reception desk of a three star hotel, very uninviting and not welcoming at all. All the pros of my stay were the customer service from the front desk staff when I checked in. and the size of my room which was a junior suite with a balcony was a nice. The AC did not work well and the bed was very very hard with no sheet or blanket. Just a heavy comforter I had a terrible night sleep but the room was a very hot with not proper bedding. I also went to enjoy the sauna and came out with no availability of water, so that was quite frustrating to be hot and thirsty, and have no water provided at all in the sauna area. I felt that for the price I paid it was very much an overpriced room.
