Property looked amazing until taking a closer look especially the bathroom, the bath had not been cleaned properly and had hairs in it and there was mould on the ceiling. Could do with a heated mirror or better extraction as the mirror took ages to clear after showering. The staff at the cafe were all helpful and the food was excellent.

Always consistently good here and the only place I stay when away on business. Was staying in olive apartment this time and was lovely stay. Only downside was the people staying in the same block had a dog which they left in their room while they went to the bar so was barking and scratching at the doors all night until they come back at 10.45pm Not ideal but also not the hotels fault. Rooms very clean and spacious can’t wait to stay again
