“A lovely break in a relaxed city.”
Our room was comfortable for our needs. We enjoyed the pool and spa. Breakfast was a large array of fresh food of varying cultures to enjoy. Something for everyone.The hotel was close to the ferry where the free bus and other buses could be caught. All the staff were very welcoming.

We arrived at the breakfast at 9.15 and half the food was gone. We were there for 35 minutes and the only restocked fruit. Lot of people were complaining that nothing was coming out of the kitchen. The breakfast has a huge variety, if it had any left it would have been really good.

“Excellent value for money at a Hotel that takes pride in doing those “extra” things !”
From check in to check out everything was wonderful . Nice clean big rooms with filtered water available in room . WiFi good . Salt water pool refreshing . Good variety of food at breakfast but mostly Asian . ( even an ice cream machine ) . Arslan our housekeeper was polite and tried to get our room done early and I enjoyed chatting with him . Doormen were always there to greet you . Overall staff were lovely and obviously well trained . TV a good variety of channels . Location was central walking distance to everything . Complimentary snacks in room on arrival . Great value for money.
