Nice hotel. The room was great and we were offered an upgrade (for a fee) which was good. The pillows were a smallish and hard but not uncomfortable. The light switches were a challenge.

Our stay was amazing, our room was gorgeous with a huge glass balcony , food and cocktails were amazing , the seating area at the side of reception and in the bar was beautiful
Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025

6/10

The room is very clean and spacious, although we were next to the road which is noisy even at night and the road was dug up outside starting at 9am. Breakfast was good, not sure about the quality of the sausages. Pool is good and the sauna is a nice extra. Dinner was disappointing, we ordered steaks and both were tough, spoke to the restaurant manager and he said that he would speak to the chef, but nothing was done. Waited ten minutes for the bill and then asked a second person. Waited a further ten minutes to remove the bill and no update from the chef. Very disappointing dinner for the the price. Location is good, with a regular bus service into the city.

very nice hotel, great staff. However, the rooms on the north side of the hotel beside the main road are very noisy. It makes these rooms very uncomfortable, like sitting on the roadside. Better soundproofing on those rooms would make this such a better hotel.
