    “Absolutely stunning hotel. We requested a room with aircon as our stay was during the summer and the aircon was amazing. The highlight of this hotel is “The Pantry” on the 1st floor there is a selection of free crisp, fruit, sweets and soft drinks and if you time it right, pieces of homemade cake!!! What a treat!!! I would highly recommend this hotel. Perfect location and very attentive staff”

  • Nice hotel, friendly staff in a great location.
