The hotel staff is very welcoming. The breakfast choices are limited. We experienced an issue with the bathroom drain, which the hotel staff fixed within a day. However, it raises the question of how such a problem could occur in so expensive hotel. Another significant inconvenience is the bathroom lighting. The wall separating the bathroom from the sleeping area is transparent, so when the bathroom light is turned on at night, it illuminates the sleeping area.

The shower drain did not drain at all. Water flooded the bathroom floor. It was terrible. I could not believe that I had to do plumbing while on vacation.

Mouldy Bath

The mould in the bathtub and poor general cleanliness was the main downside of this hotel. Carpet had been poorly hoovered (if at all) and all fixtured heavy wear & tear. Large stains on the carpet floor. Reception staff friendly, decent bar attached. Nice breakfast with a wide range available. The swimming pool and sauna was great, limiting the number of people in the pool by pre-booking was appreciated to keep the medium-sized pool from being overcrowded

Mediocre hotel

Front desk was lovely. Easy check in, even though we arrive early they gave us one of the rooms to put our luggage. The gentleman was friendly and vey courteous. House keeping was a different story, actually one of the days our room was not cleaned at all. We made our own bed...

Unprofessionalism

One thing I was really upset about regarding my stay was that I had contacted the staff and had even spoken to them on the phone in order to request for an additional celebration arrangement a week beforehand for our one year anniversary which I was very much looking forward to. They even agreed and sent me the celebration bundle service they provide. But later they stopped responding to me and ignored my messages. I really wanted to surprise my partner. I'm gutted.
