This place was bliss - everything was so clean & comfortable & especially lovely & quiet. Aswell within walking distance to shops, restaurants or a quiet lake side walk - 10/10 ♥️
Friendly staff. Lovely room with king bed, good pillows, tastefully decorated, big TV, 2 comfy chairs with coffee table. Good coffee area with bench, fridge n kettle. Glasses and some cutlery n crockery, kitchen sponge n tea towel. Good bathroom products. Opening window very welcomed.
Room was clean, but there was a lingering smell that was not pleasant. The fridge was not cold - milk remained at room temperature regardless of turning the dial to colder. When this was brought to the attention of staff, it is presumed they looked at it, but did not fix it. The pool was dominated by children the entire time - having an adults only period (e.g., 7-9pm) would be much better. Air con did not reach into the bedroom. Bed was not comfortable. The hotel is in a good location, has a nice setup overall, and is in a beautiful town.
Great hotel. Ideal for long-term stay. Suite was well-equipped, clean, and comfortable. Staff was lovely! Very helpful and welcoming. I had a great stay.
