The service was equally as good with all the staff helpful and particularly Daniel and Milan in the restaurant who genuinely made us feel welcome and relaxed after 9 hours of travelling.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the en suite lovely. The breakfast was varied with hot and cold choice all of which were tasty. The menu for lunch and dinner was extensive and reasonably priced plus a very large choice of spirits and some cocktails. The coffee was delicious. The staff were all very professional and helpful. I would recommend this hotel."
