Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I think the property has been let go. The shops were closed the cafe had stale cakes and the coffee was bitter. But worse was our bed had not had the linen changed. I spoke to reception who said he was sorry they were struggling to get staff. They came and changed the linen while we were there. The linen had soiled stains .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Impressive internet speed, cafe, bar, safe from dust and scary people on street. Underground room was accessible through groundfloor, as it was dogout through a hill. You can park you car in front your room. Only fan allowed in your room, no air conditioning, mostly we leave the door open to breath.

Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Awful place
The complex/hotel was extremely dated for its rating. Very disappointed indeed. Hair in the shower (short black hair -I’m a red head) threadbare towels but no air con. A fan was there but was not adequate at all. Pool need updating. Restaurant was closed. Only the cafe was open and the bar closed at 8. No advertisement for this. Not acceptable for a hotel of this ‘apparent good rating’ will not stay again and will not recommended to anyone
