Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and very clean; however, there was a bit of dust on the skirting boards beside the bed. The service was outstanding and extremely helpful, particularly when we had an issue with our taxi. The location was good overall, but the entrance could be difficult to find due to the roundabout nearby. The dining experience was a tale of two halves - while the traditional bread was wonderful, the breakfast options were lacking and some items had run out early. The facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and well-equipped for my family, but noise from outside was a downside. The service was professional, but lacking in friendliness. The location was convenient and offered a sense of safety, although road signage could be improved. The dining experience had its flaws, especially during breakfast. Overall, good value for money with some room for improvement.
The hotel was a comfortable and quiet stay, with friendly and helpful service. The location was a bit remote but offered affordability. The dining experience was lacking but the overall facilities were good.
