"Great property, very clean, very well-kept, good service! Reserving breakfast was a bit restricting as you can only book it the day before, before 10pm for the discounted price. One suggestion would be to give the flexibility of booking it alongside the initial room reservation"

"Very impressive and welcoming hotel. Breakfast was great apart from the horrible scrambled egg - I’d recommend giving the scrambled egg a miss. Room 104 is more like an apartment and had everything I needed. Need to get a taller cleaner though, who can reach the bathroom window…"
