Our receptionists on arrival and departure were exceptional. Amazingly friendly and helpful The rooms are quite outdated, which the pictured really don’t show and is therefore a bit of a mislead. Chipped furniture an old aircon that’s all flaked etc Also a massive shoutout to our waiter in the restaurant. We had lunch and he was THE BEST! Thank you so much

This is a very basic, no thrills hotel. The rooms are mediocre, as is the service. I stayed 4 nights and not once did room service clean my room. There is a 24-hour free coffee/tea machine in the lobby, which I did enjoy using.

Pool was down due to kids putting Easter eggs and breaking it, but it was not updated on the website, which kids look forward too. The terrace you couldn’t get too because of the pool closure. The best part was the restaurant and the staff in the restaurant.
