"Nice hotel. Breakfast was very nice with plenty of options. Room was mostly clean but we did have a problem with a leak from the shower which judging by the door frame being water damaged and mouldy, had been there some time! Staff were mostly very friendly with the exception of one. A little bit tight with the water (300ml a day is hardly generous, we are humans not a cacti!) Overall a mostly pleasant stay."

"The hotel is good. Receptionist and restaurant staff were excellent. Getting the shuttle from airport to hotel was impossible and agonising because we didn’t realise one has to register beforehand. We waisted over an hour in the airport, multiple phone calls were not answered even when police attempted to help us. We had to take a taxi. We were helped by the receptionist once we got to hotel to register for shuttle for the next morning. The ride takes about 5-10 minutes. The driver was polite and understanding."
