Reviews
Very well located.
The friendly and accommodating staff were very helpful and genuinely dedicated.
Well equipped fitness.
Pricey breakfast and not too big, but certainly tasty.
The room was clean, modern and elegantly decorated. There is a smart TV. Multiple charging outlets were available. There was a mini fridge and amenities were available upon request.
Very handy information sheet provided upon check-in.
I was able to store my luggage for some time before my departure.
I was charged incorrectly, but this was promptly corrected.
This is hotel is one of the few that can truly serve as an example to others.
