Pros:

Asked for a room in the quiet part of the hotel, which we got. The hotel nd the room were contemporary, well-maintained, immaculately clean, well-furnished and everything worked. The room was well equipped, with plenty of sockets. The room was also a good size.

The staff were very friendly. When we arrived, we were met with a wonderful smile and greeting from the young lady behind reception. Probably the warmest welcome I've ever had in a hotel.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

Pros:

quick check-in and breakfast started on time.

Cons:

I had booked a room for a family of three. On reaching the room, we realised there was a double bed. We were very tired and didnt want to go throught he hassle of changing rooms.

We were given just a single check-in card to the room. It would be great if two cards are given.
