lovely stay
working air conditioning relaxing bar super clean pool
The hotel's air conditioning worked perfectly. Always a win. the bar was relaxing and drinks were at reasonable prices. the leisure area had a super clean pool, sauna and steam room. the sauna and steam room were fantastic. I think they were a real perk.
The set menu had limited choices. I feel they should broaden them slightly.

a straightforward stay
effective air conditioning wide variety fresh towels accessing upper floors
The air conditioning in my compact double room was really effective! i liked that the breakfast included a wide variety of options. It set me up well each morning. the room was tidied daily and i appreciated that fresh towels were provided, though i prefer to reuse them to save resources. i also used the lift. It made accessing upper floors much simpler.
the hallways echoed a lot! i could sometimes hear other guests walking past my door, which occasionally disrupted the quiet.

The swimming pool was a nice addition, and i saw that it included a shallow end for children. next to it i noticed the sauna and the steam room. I saw people using them. there were also changing rooms nearby.
