My son and his partner stayed here for her birthday on the 13th of February, had a beautiful time, creating some really special memories. The staff were apparently amazing — welcoming, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout their stay. They especially appreciated the lovely play area for the baby, which made the visit even more enjoyable and relaxed. My son said he would highly recommend this hotel, even above some of the more expensive options in the area. Definitely give this one a go.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff at reception were very polite and helpful. Rooms were a decent size with everything you needed and very clean. The negative is the pool which wasn't warm and the sauna and steam rooms were very small however, for the price you pay I would definitely return. Another negative is you cannot pay with cash.
