    Amazing place with free wi-fi, a lovely indoor swimming pool, and a 24-hour reception. The staff once helped me with taxi tips.! I’m excited to come back for Xmas.

    The hotel features spacious rooms with impressive design elements, particularly the quirky decor that stands out from standard fare. The garden room offers a serene atmosphere, perfect for breakfast, with a Mediterranean vibe that enhances the dining experience.

    The room could have benefited from a couple more distinctive features. it felt somewhat generic. The TV only offered terrestrial options, which was a letdown, especially since it claimed to ‘mirror’ devices but didn't. The shower head was positioned quite low, which can be bothersome for taller folks, and the coffee-making setup with a single-use filter didn't lend itself well to two guests wanting coffee simultaneously.

    comfy bed
    relaxing pool
    shower pressure

    I had an amazing stay where I loved the super comfy bed and relaxing pool area. The spa options, including a sauna and massage, really helped me unwind. If I had to nitpick, the shower water pressure could've been a bit stronger, but it didn't take away from my overall experience. 😊

    Great spot for a family getaway

    We had a nice 3-night stay here. The room was super comfy, and the staff were really friendly. The gym was great with everything you need. Just a bummer that the breakfast took forever – ended up cold after a long wait. Definitely recommend checking out the bar area for a chill evening!

    This hotel had an amazing spa with great treatments and a relaxing atmosphere. The track for yoga is a fantastic touch. I loved starting my day with my own mat! Plus, the complimentary wine hour was a highlight!

    great location
    limited sunbeds

    We had an amazing time with friends! The location was perfect for exploring and enjoying some nightlife. The hotel has a great vibe, especially the buzzing bar and lovely restaurant. The staff were super helpful, and the complimentary snacks were a nice touch. Definitely check out the Conservatory courtyard for a relaxing drink.

    We would have liked to use the spa and pool more, but there weren’t enough sunbeds available to enjoy it properly.

    delicious breakfast
    baba restaurant
    complimentary wine
    noisy environment
    soft mattress

    Had a smashing stay! The breakfast was top-notch, with haggis that left me wanting more. The Babas restaurant had a delightful dinner – seriously, don't miss it. Plus, that complimentary wine hour was pure magic! Super stylish room with a yoga mat too, canny touches.

    A wee bit of noise from the nightlife outside kept me awake at times, and the doors are a bit flimsy, letting in every sound from the hallway. The mattress was softer than I'd prefer, but I still had a lovely stay.
