Pros:

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Room quite small but clean. Breakfast was chaotic to say the least huge queues to enter the room 10 minutes just to get in not the way you want to start your day., very noisy, children running around not relaxing in anyway. In saying that the staff were working hard to deal with the amount of customers.

Pros:

I like the reception staff and the atmosphere in the hotel. As always it was great

Cons:

In the restaurant for breakfast, the staff pushed passed everyone, running around the restaurant and a bartender across from reception scolded me for turning on the table light infront of everyone in the bar which was kind of embarrassing, after this when I wanted a drink he ignored me and did not want to serve me. I don't drink much so I was only having 2 drinks. His name was Ayson I think
