The room was spacious enough and had a huge bathroom.The shower was easy to use and had good hot water and pressure. The bed was comfortable. Also, it was easy access to the hotel bistro to have a good meal.

You get what you paid for and all I needed was a bed. So I thought it was perfectly priced and the food in the restaurant downstairs was great.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for one night and can’t complain at all. Our room with en-suite was clean with crisp linen. Bathroom and shower is huge and spotless. The shared kitchen has everything you need. Food and drinks is available at the bistro area, very handy.

8/10 Very good

Great location. Reasonable price for Fri night. Great sized room with ensuite. I prefer a mini fridge in room but a bonus to have access to large shared fridge in accommodation

Unfortunate circumstance

Air conditioning was massively leaking and unfortunately due to the timing being Friday late afternoon a technician was unable to attend. However the staff were very kind in providing assistance and also gave a little compensation for the inconvenience caused.
