Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were of good quality and dressed very tastefully, with fluffy white towels in the bathroom, but the complimentary bathrobes were a bit rough and starchy. The king-size bed was comfortable, and there were chairs to relax and enjoy the views. Although the room was advertised as a large double, it felt minute but was still clean and cozy.
The room was a bit small for us as a couple in our 70s, being on the top floor, but it had everything we needed and a lovely view. The hotel overall is pristine and well-presented. The young lady manager was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering us a warm welcome. Breakfast was great.
The hotel had just enough room to walk around the double bed, but two people couldn't pass each other in the toilet/shower room. The room was spotlessly clean and fresh, very small but had all the facilities and was comfortable and clean as expected in line with the website description.
