"It needs to be made clear that the hotel has no proper dining facilities other than a cafe area in reception. No bar available. Will be a great hotel when it’s finished but in the interim if you arrive unprepared you will need to leave the hotel to find somewhere to eat, get a drink etc."

"The first night we stayed there, I was one of six that actually got a hot shower. The others had ground water temperature. The second time we stayed there, only one of the 4 of us got a hot shower. The hotel has serious issues with their water system. Sometimes, it also went down to a trickle. Other than this, the stay was fantastic."
