unexpectedly WONDERFUL stay

fresh fruit custard tarts

The staff were helpful when I needed assistance with directions. breakfast included fresh fruit and pastries. I especially enjoyed the custard tarts. the air conditioning in my room worked REALLY well. This was essential during the warm weather.

the hotel is located near a busy road, i heard some road noise. i wished it had a footpath for safer walking.

kindly reception super clean room service varied cakes small room missing bar road noise

the reception was so kindly, they do care. my room, was a twin room, was always super clean with daily room service. breakfast had varied cakes, i found such a treat.

my room was very small, it caused slight discomfort. the hotel lacked a bar, a place for a nightcap. the main road caused noise, some nights sleep were restless.

a decent place

friendly staff lovely pool busy roundabout busy road

The staff was genuinely amazing! they were super friendly and always ready to help and the rooms had excellent air conditioning. i really appreciated the pool area. It was a great spot to relax after a long day.

the location wasn't ideal, the hotel is on a busy roundabout. this meant i needed taxis to get into town, i had to walk along a busy road to catch my ride.

the breakfast was very comprehensive , with a lot of options. my room had a nice balcony to sit in the morning. the grounds were spacious , providing ample space for dog walks.

the room was quite small , though clean. the hotel is located on a main roundabout , requiring taxis to reach the town center. there was no phone in my room to contact reception.
