I had a great experience at this spa hotel, with friendly staff and comfortable amenities. The location was convenient for accessing nearby attractions. However, I was a bit disappointed by the limited vegetarian options at dinner. Overall, it was a relaxing stay with good value for money.

7.2/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating, especially when they provided us access to another room during our early arrival, which I appreciated. On the downside, the parking situation was frustrating, especially for a hotel that offers spa services. The overall amenities, though fine, didn't quite meet the standard I expected. It's a reasonable option when visiting the area but be mindful of the parking policies.

My recent stay had its ups and downs. The hotel itself was well-maintained with a lovely reception area, but my room was average and lacked some necessary amenities like a fridge. The breakfast was standard but fine, while the pool and gym were areas I didn't explore. Overall, I enjoyed the location, but improvements are definitely needed for me to consider returning.

Rooms
6.0
The room was average size, clean but disappointing that it didn't have a fridge, which similar rooms did. The shower was low, and the ironing board was dirty, which affected my experience.
Service

The hotel's location was convenient, making it easy to get around, which I appreciated during my stay.
Dining

Breakfast was fairly standard, and while it was satisfactory, nothing seemed remarkable about it. The bar prices were high, which felt excessive due to the added service charge.
Facilities

I didn't use the pool or gym, so I can't provide insight, but I heard some feedback about them being decent.
