We had a fantastic stay - incredibly friendly and helpful staff, wonderful room and such a beautiful and unusual pool. Located very close to the tram and buses that took us everywhere we wanted to go. Certainly within walking distance of many of these too. We had a wonderful stay - many thanks to the staff.

The best thing about the hotel was the great variety of food available for breakfast. There was also a pool available for free. My only reservation is that it was easy to hear noises from outside the room quite easily.
