Very Good Featured review

8/10
Busi at reception made us feel at home, and the staff were outstanding. The room was spacious and clean, breakfast was amazing, and the location worked perfectly for walking to the malls and waterfront. The rooms could use some modernising, though, and there’s no lift despite there being many rooms upstairs. Still, we had a really nice stay and would definitely recommend it.

The staff were our favorite part. Everyone was kind and helpful, and they made us feel welcome. We travel around the world for work and would definitely stay here again. It’s a delightful little place, clean, quiet, convenient and well priced. Breakfast was delicious, and the grounds are well kept.

Everything went smoothly from check-in, where the receptionist was kind and helpful, through to check-out. The breakfast was nice. The one disappointment was that none of our rooms had warm water, which was a problem with small kids.

The kids enjoyed the spacious, clean family unit, which had everything we needed. Breakfast could be better, though. It was too basic and there wasn’t much variety.

We only stayed one night. The water wasn't hot, and breakfast arrived cold. We had booked two rooms, but the kids were on a different floor from us.
