I could not fault the service of staff the only issue was that the hotel is a little tired. The sure club was excellent, as was the food and the service. The room was spotless if a little cold but our trip represented great value. I would stay again.

Great hotel in an excellent location, just a short walk from the station. The pool and jacuzzi are lovely, and while the hotel could use a little TLC, it only adds to its charm. The breakfast was excellent – highly recommended. Thank you 😊
