8/10 Good
"Comfy bed, good shower and jacuzzi bath. Food was great, good selection at breakfast and evening meal. Staff were very pleasant. Downside: room service stops at 8.30pm. (there were no times on the menu) Steam room, sauna and jacuzzi in leisure facilities were all out of order. Very disappointed!"
