ETIENNE (Family with young children)

Guest Score 9 out of 10
Wonderful
The breakfast was very nice. My only suggestion would be a bigger variety of coffees ie Cappucino, Latte, Iced coffee etc
A baby high chair would be handy.
The remote for the air conditioner in one of our rooms stopped working.

Bed was comfortable.
Staff was really unfriendly upon check in. The room that they took me to smelled awfully bad inside. Then i asked them to move me to another room. Did not even felt comfortable to eat the breakfast that was included. Very limited TV channels.

Excellent establishment, keep up the great service
Wish they could play classic music at the breakfast area instead of tuning the News Channel.

Some guests had a private birthday party in the bar/ lounge area. Manager partied with guests till 4 a.m.! Could not sleep because of loud music! This is not a guesthouse. It is more like a Tavern!! Would not recommend staying there at all. Worst experience ever!

The pelican is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful - particularly Nelly on reception.
Only concern is the wi-fi which away from reception is frequently dropping out.
