Great size room, plenty of space for two people to spread their belongings out and relax. Big tv. Great kitchen space with everything you need. Spa bath on balcony is a great touch. 5 minute walk to main stress. only let down for the room was quality of mattress, wasn’t the worst mattress but definitely due for an upgrade.

Terrible, $300 a night for a room that had a thick coating of dust on every surface, and is well overdue for renovation or even basic maintenance. Our bathroom sink drain had its own life forms growing due to lack of sanitary care, along with black scum stains in the toilet, floors showing signs of black mould forming in areas as well as a shower that had been poorly repaired with a second floor that was spongey and oozed mould and unpleasantries during showering. We planned to cook in our room, but was left watching the butter set in the pan due to lack of function from the stove. Advertised with a spa, one of the jets fell out on first use, lucky we are DIY minded and re secured it. Bed time was the equivalent of inhaling a mouth full of dryer lint due to the poorly cleaned bedding, with a nice view of it drifting into the air under the modern LED lamps. The quality standards advertised for this hotel are definitely not being followed and even after cutting our holiday short by 3 nights, no longer being able to tolerate dust allergies and health concerns from the state of the bathroom, the discounted price we were eventually offered from our complaint to staff was still robbery for the state of accommodation provided. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Es ist ein traumhaftes Apartment. Es ist alles da, was man benötigt. Der Ausblick vom Balkon ist fantastisch. Die Stadt ist zu Fuss wunderbar zu erreichen. Dort befinden sich eine Reihe von guten Restaurants und auch Bars.
