Introduction
Given the excellent reviews I was expecting a top-quality hotel but it fell short of the mark.
Room
At first glance the room, if a bit small, looked very nice but then you realise there is nowhere to put your suitcase to unpack.
Then you notice that there are no chairs – not even one with the desk let alone an armchair to sit and watch TV or read. I requested one after breakfast on my first day but it did not come – I eventually asked the cleaner to move one from an empty room next door.
The air conditioning did not work which as the temperature was up to 27C outside was unfortunate. This meant that I had to have the window open all the time listening to the traffic on the busy road outside the hotel and the building site opposite – quiet it was not!
On the plus side the bathroom was excellent, the bed comfortable and the WiFi good.
Breakfast
This is available from 7am to 11am. The first day I came down around 10am as I had not got to bed until 4.30am due to the late arrival of my flight.
Whilst there was a reasonable hot selection left, there was very little cold items left – meats, cheeses, etc. On subsequent days I went down earlier to ensure plenty of choice.
Overall it is OK but nothing to rave over given the surroundings you are eating it in.
Laundry
The five free pieces of laundry per day service is really good – apart from the fact that when the clothes are returned there is not a new form for the next batch.
