My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit dated but scrupulously clean, with friendly housekeeping staff changing towels and bed linen daily. The top pool was nice, and there was always attendance to ensure kids' safety while parents could take a break. However, leaving the hotel meant encountering persistent sellers. The location was convenient, close to major sites, but could be noisy due to traffic. Service was friendly and helpful, offering various amenities from car hire to tours. Dining had a good variety of food options, and the facilities were generally satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though a little dated, were scrupulously clean, and the housekeeping staff changed towels and bed linen daily, which was great. However, the smell of smoke was quite off-putting. The price of £18 a night for bed and breakfast was an absolute steal for the level of accommodation provided. The hotel had two beds that they pushed together for us to make one, which was a thoughtful touch.
