This hotel is beautiful with a great fitness center. Everything was 5 stars except we experienced some inconvenience due to the lack of AC in our room, Granted they are making updates and repairs so I think we were in the middle of that. They worked with us and we wound up being satisfied after several room relocations. I would definitely book here again. It’s convenient to everything! The staff was phenomenal.

Our room was incredible, excellent value for money, a minor disappointment to not have bathrobes provided but the room and view made up for that. All staff whether reception, bar, general staff or the leisure team, were friendly, professional and helpful. Breakfast is reasonably good, a range of choices for all tastes, but could be improved by being hot where appropriate. Wonderful location, central yet quiet, and very convenient for buses, with the airport bus just outside. Would definitely stay here again. Excellent.
