"Evening meal quite dry and bland, no real taste. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice. Even though the hotel appeared to be busy the restaurant was spacious and welcoming enough for you not to notice how busy it really was. Overall an excellent experience 👌."

"The flat was nice and modern. It was relatively clean. The bedrooms were a tight squeeze so quite impractical for people who require more space. The kitchen included everything one could need during their stay and was well kept. The showers had good pressure and were also well maintained. Overall a great experience and good location not far from anywhere you'd want to go."
