Made my daughter and I feel very special. Managers are all fantastic and the concierge guy who welcomed us was an absolute joy (Hulio, I think his name was). The gentleman on the desk at breakfast was a joy. All the staff are very welcoming!

Pleasant
The breakfast was good. The staff in the cocktail bar were brilliant , especially the Irish guy , he was very friendly and sat and talked to everyone and very knowledgeable about all drinks.
The hotel is too dark and couldn’t see anything at all. Very bad if your sight isn’t the best. The seating is awful , just extremely uncomfortable everywhere. The longe area by the cocktail bar the seating too low and rock hard as was seating in cocktail bar. Just nowhere comfortable at all! No water in rooms had to walk back towards the lift to fill up jug. This is poor as bottled water should be supplied free of charge to all rooms. As someone will mobility issues this was a huge inconvenience. The room was not worth the price at all.

It’s a good hotel in a great location. Usually it’s good value for money
I sent two messages via the booking.com app to ask for a twin room. I received no response to these messages. On arrival there were no twin rooms available so we ended up with a temporary bed in one of the rooms
