Tesisin en cok kahvaltisini begendim. Menuden siparis verip yumurtanizi istediginiz gibi yiyebiliyorsunuz.

Tesiste ilk gece klima calismiyordu. Durumu belirttigimde baska bir oda teklif edildi oda zemin katta oldugu icin teklifi kabul etmedim ertesi gun klimayi tamir edebileceklerini soylediler ve tamir etmislerdi. Bu yuzden memnunum.

"Walk in shower flooded room, meant my partner couldn’t have a shower before we were going out and neither of us could be"

Good

3.0

Nice inside and the staff were good, other than that an extremely disappointing stay.

Our walk in shower flooded our room and the toilet, like a sea of water not just a puddle. A member of staff mentioned a 50% refund during checking out but we were only offered the £40 upgrade fee to the suite.
