The staff are so helpful and make you feel looked after.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our staff, especially the late shift receptionist, made you feel welcomed and well taken care of. Your comfort is our priority, and we truly appreciate your recognition of their efforts. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Kind Regards Hassan Raza Operations Manager

Check in and check out very efficient. Room clean, good size and comfortable. Bathroom clean, but unheated it seemed. Bath water spent an age running in but was nice and hot. Biggest problem was breakfast. Food was ok, but you might want to think about a menu and waiter service. It would have been nice at least to be able to order a proper pot of tea to be brought to the table, rather than relying on hot water from a machine. Limited choice of breakfast food. Seemed all geared to speed, rather than a pleasant experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay with us. We are pleased to hear that you found the check-in and check-out process efficient and that you were comfortable in your room. We apologize for the issues you experienced with the bathroom temperature and the delay in the bath water running. Your comments have been shared with our maintenance team so this can be reviewed and improved. We are particularly sorry that breakfast did not meet your expectations. While our current setup is designed to offer efficiency, we appreciate your comments regarding menu options, waiter service, and the ability to order freshly made tea at the table. Your feedback is very valuable and will be discussed with our food and beverage team as we continually look for ways to enhance the breakfast experience and make it more enjoyable for our guests. Thank you again for your constructive comments. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a more pleasant and relaxing stay. Kind Regards Hassan Raza Operations Manager
