  • Jessica from Australia (9/10)

    Our room was very clean, spotless. The robes supplied were lovely and soft and upon arriving the Hotel has a gorgeous scent in the air. The Hotel has modern, stylish decor and everything is upkept. The pool has city views and so nice for an Hotel to have the pool outside in the lovely sun rather than indoors. Although smaller than we imagined, the pool worked for what we needed. I enjoyed a lovely steak in the restaurant which far exceeded typical hotel food. Wasn’t expecting a washer, dryer and full size fridge in our room either.
