Nicola J. P. Business - 4/19/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Comfy bed and spacious rooms with basic amenities but that's about it! It was noisy, decor is old, and VERY minimal house keeping. Bed wasn't made, cups and glasses weren't washed up, towels weren't changed. When staying for work I expect better!

Dear Nicola, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you found the bed comfortable and the room spacious. However, we are sorry to learn that other aspects of your stay did not meet expectations, particularly regarding noise, room condition, and housekeeping. Please note that housekeeping is included as part of your stay and provides a daily light service. We regret that this was not delivered to the standard you expected and will be addressing this with our team to ensure consistency moving forward. We appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience in the future. Sincerely, Adi

Well located, comfortable stay. Nice to have a bath in the room - but no plug. No robes to take to the sauna or pool.

Bathrobes are provided in our higher room categories; however, if you are staying in a standard room, these can be requested at no additional cost via the QR code available in your room.
