Hotel is in an excellent position, very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Had a fabulous stay

Staff that really is motivated to make your stay pleasent

Nothing

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel was spotless.

The hotel is close to a main road, which is great for bus connections, but a lot of cars are old diesels and you could smell it continually on the balcony.

Liked breakfast, fountain bar.

All the bars were mostly shut, cocktail bar never open and pool bars never open, despite excellent weather.

Location, hotel design- not too tall, not an ugly concrete box - beautiful gardens well tended, fabulous floral scents in the warm evenings, generous breakfasts, prompt lifts, convenient parking and direct lift to our floor. Good quality tv display and reasonable wifi, plenty of hot water most of the time.

The need to upgrade to a junior suite because the first ‘superior studio ‘ that we were offered was significantly smaller than the one we had on our previous visit three years ago. We had not realised how different the studios were from each other. The lack of coffee maker in room and the terrible coffee available at breakfast. The minimal cooking facilities in the room (albeit helpfully supplemented by staff on request). The very limited tv channel choices - we would pay for Sky Sports or similar - and the block on use of chromecast dongle in the hdmi slot on tv - again we would pay a reasonable fee to access our online viewing options.
