Pros:

The staff are so welcoming and the hotel is comfortable and clean.

They are situated on a hill with a beautiful view but unfortunately our room was a the very back of the. So next time I would request a room at the front.

Quality hotel but odd rules
Pros:

Lovely location. And room beautiful food in the restaurant and breakfast very good.

Cons:

Dining and breakfast times .no leaway and felt a bit uncomfortable.. Staff don't have time to mingle and chat with guests. . Breakfast menu misleading. Choice isn't what it seems. .
And room rules ... surely your insurence covers for accidental damage a guest might do. Not expect the guest to pay if a genuine accident happens..
Room was beautiful but the easy chairs need recovered. They let the room down

Beautifully decorated and modern
Pros:

The whole hotel was beautifully decorated. The furniture was gorgeous. The views were lovely.
Staff were friendly.

Cons:

It's quite high up on a hill, so no good if you have mobility issues.
It was a bit awkward during the night when needing the toilet. I couldn't find a light to see where I was going.

Friendly staff and comfortable rooms
Pros:

The hotel was very nice, clean and friendly. The manager Ivan was friendly and full of enthusiasm, very nice man.

Cons:

I did expect a little more luxury, as the price of the room was in the high range. But I can’t complain as it was nice. We arrived at 9pm and it would have been nice to have had something to eat. The restaurant had already closed.
