Room very clean and all amenities present. Looking a little tired since my last visit but still a lovely hotel. Service wasnt great. I walked into the bar and was told it was table service. I waited more than 8 minutes whilst 2 servers were chatting and standing around.A third server appeared and immediately served me. Apart from that everything else ran smoothly . I would choose this hotel again

The hotel and staff were excellent. The restaurant staff were attentive and the food was excellent. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, very modern, clean and well appointed. My only regret is that we only had one night to spend there and left very early to catch a plane. The hotel is not extremely close to the airport but the staff made sure to arrange a taxi for us the night before.
