Not what you pay for.
For the price, it really wasn’t worth it. I booked it for the pool. It was closed. No word of that when booking. The service was poor and the staff were uninterested and uninformed. I was even ignored for a while.

Delayed check in
Disappointed with check in, our room wasn’t ready for 2 hours past check in time. We’re told to sit in reception & each time told it would only be another 10mins. Very frustrating after a long travel day & only compensation offered was a couple of chocolate bars

Overpriced but good location
Dusty room, hair in the shower with a slow draining plug. Bed very firm and pillows lumpy. No water in room, went down to reception to buy some - we were offered two small bottles which was appreciated although receptionist proceeded to relentlessly push us to book for breakfast after declining multiple times. Overall, felt over priced. Great location!
