It was ok but a bit disappointed

5.0

I liked the location

− How noisey it was at night and in the morning. The shower sprayed water on the floor. The coffee making facilities weren’t good. It was pretty average

For eating in NO but comfort YES

6.0

The bed was amaaaaazing. Very close to walk to a lot of good area's.

− The room was a weird layout with a cupboard with tea and coffee at one end of the room. And the fridge was in the middle of the room, but on the outside part of the combined kitchen/bathroom sink. Having to wash hands after the bathroom, and brush teeth near the kettle was really strange. No exhaust fan in the bathroom, and no door dividing the toilet from the bath/shower was a bit intrusive. For the price of food at dinner was very exorbitant compared to the amount i got. One scotch egg for around $40, and the white of the egg was still slimy

Perfect stay, friendly team and wow that breakfast!

10.0

Everything! the warm friendly greeting from the team at the front desk, the extra mile they went to with the kids to feel at home. the room layout and comfort. the breakfast will be talked about by the kids for years!! And mum appreciated the pricing of breakfast too. Something for everyone for sure.

− The fact we didn't have longer to stay!
