Os funcionarios da recepção foram maravilhosos, mas a manager do restaurante foi muito rude quando pedimos uma mesa mais aconchegante. Não voltaria lá. Mas definivamente recomendo o hotel, foi tudo perfeito, todos os funcionarios foram muito atenciosos e educados

Lovely hotel, Mary in reception made us very welcome. Room was spacious, clean and serviced each day, comfortable bed. Excellent choice of breakfast and staff were very helpful.
