"Very nice, modern rooms, although quite small (we stayed for 3 nights and didn’t really have anywhere to put or open our suitcases). The aircon worked great, and the shower was good, the only downside to the room was the bed. Way too short, and the pillows were awful. Breakfast was limited and a bit chaotic due to the layout of the building but did the job. The pool is nice and the gym is decent for a quick session."
