Very friendly staff, excellent facilities, superb selection for breakfast and spacious rooms. Loved the soa which we used every day. The only issue was the noise from the courtyard( which our room backed onto). A lot of banging and crashing in the early hours woke us up most nights.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room and hotel were lovely. The geometric carpet throughout the residential floors was stunning. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom design was incredible. The staff were helpful and attentive. The on-site restaurant was also great (although the menu was a little limited) - the food and service was excllent. I would however like to point out that room service is not 24 hour (as it says in the Expedia listing) - the kitchen shuts at 22h00. We arrived at 11pm which meant we had to order using a delivery app, which was a little disappointing.

The hotel was immaculately maintained and had a lovely ambience. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was extensive and enjoyable. And most importantly, we enjoyed an excellent night's sleep for each of our two nights stay. Thoroughly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay there. The staff members of the hotel (reception, cleaning, bar) were outstanding! The breakfast buffet was fantastic for both adults (with sparkling wine!) and children (with tetra pack juice for take-out). Sauna, hot tub, and swimming pool are luxury!

Fantastic stay

The hotel is fantastic. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. The spa is excellent and on an evening 7-10pm only over 16s are allowed in which made it more relaxing. The breakfast had a huge selection and very tasty. Would love to stay again.
