Good hotel and very comfortable
Travelled on 07/2025

Also recommend CM tours f...

The hotel reception is poor and the people we came across had a very "lazy" attitude. The breakfast was very average amd totally unorganised. The hotel is around 15-20mins walk into the main part of town. Its i...

Better than first impressions
Travelled on 05/2025
Initially disappointed by size of room as they had used clever photography to make it look bigger. Balcony is basically a ledge with railings. Room comfortable though good daily cleaning. Excellent breakfast helpful polite staff. 20 mins walk to centre....
