Comfy beds, walking distance to restaurants and the city, spacious. My only feedback is to put blockout curtains on the bedroom windows, and a blind on the windows in the ensuite as the outside lights shine in all night, and the sun wakes you up around 4.30am in the mornings. Another suggestion is to put a door on the ensuite entry as it is currently all open, with no privacy, and the smells come into the bedroom.

Amazing apartment, location & the view was superb. Sadly though the cleanliness let it down, the previous guests rubbish were still in the bins, laundry in the washing machine & eye lashes by the bed. We were told at the peppers reception that the unit was not managed by them & to sort it ourselves.

We were happy (mostly) with the hotel, but the room required a thorough clean and the air conditioning was so noisy it made getting to sleep quite difficult. Breakfast was good with friendly service. Checkin was quick and easy.
