We were amazed at the quality of the rooms and the exceptional service of staff. We will be back!
PortugalStaff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was great..!!!
AustraliaLoved the central location to everything, and the room was lovely with a little balcony which was great to have my morning coffee on.
AustraliaVery clean and comfy with great coffee and cafe next door
AustraliaExcellent location, a short walk to the Marina and to the town centre. The room was modern and well appointed - the bed and pillows were very very comfortable. The kitchenette had a microwave and plates, saucers and cutlery. There was a lift as well and this was a bonus when moving heavy luggage.
AustraliaThis hotel has recently been renovated and it has been done with a good eye and style. The rooms look great and there are a lot of nice touches. Amazing huge spa bath in our room - great jets and very deep. While we did not eat at the restaurant, it was very busy on a Friday morning, which indicates it is popular with the locals. Very nice pool area. More regional hotels could do with a makeover like this!
AustraliaIt was perfect.. We loved our room and will book again
