10/10 Excellent
"We arrived early but were able to check in straight away, have stayed here before some of the staff did recognise us. They are a very friendly and helpful team. The room was nice and cool with the air con on , which was very welcomming from the heat outside, and very clean. Would recommend this hotel, close to good bars and shopping."
