Seen lot of bad reviews for this hotel... I personally don't think as bad as some making out. Yes the reception was closed most of the time but when I was there it was Easter and it is apartments rather than hotel as states in the name. I found the reception girl pleasant, the rooms were clean but walls like... More

We arrived expecting the worst and were pleasantly surprised. Okay the furniture is a bit dated and the equipment is a bit hit and miss, but if you ask at reception they will arrange to put in your room anything thats missing. The travel cot for our grandaughter was like brand new and they arranged two fans for us to... More
