There was barely any utensils in the room such as a plate or knife or a decent wine glass only 2 tumblers supplied. There was only one facewasher in the bathroom for 2 people. Room was like a matchbox and you could not easily reach light switches on either side of the bed. No toothbrush or any extras supplied in the bathroom except for a showercap. Pillows were terrible. All in all for the price expected more.

Tourist in our own city
First time staying at this hotel and was totally surprised and amazed that I haven’t booked or stayed here. The room was spacious and very comfy. The buffet breakfast was delicious, plenty of choices and cheap compared to other hotel we’ve stayed in. The pool area was on a small size but it’s big enough to sun bake. The bar area on the second floor was a great place to relax and enjoy a cheeky cocktail or two. Overall, had a really great time and will definitely book this place again.
