Reviews and Ratings
The hotel location was convenient, and the service was top-notch with staff going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. However, the noise from the road was a downside. The dining experience offers a wide variety of food choices but could use more seating.
The hotel has a great location, close to main sites and perfect for a holiday. The rooms, despite some issues with water due to a power cut and large frames, don't live up to their pictures. The service, from reception to housekeeping, was very accommodating. The proximity to tourist sites like God's Window and the excellent kitchen add to the overall experience. The dining experience, especially with friendly staff, was very tasty.
The hotel offers a lovely stay with clean and comfortable rooms, very friendly service, and a great location for exploring the area. The dining experience is pleasant, though limited in options. A good value for money overall.
