"Nice, clean and cosy place to stay. Loved the African animals theme!"

8.0

Nice, clean and cosy place to stay. Loved the African animals theme. Location is good, walking distance to food options and Victoria Esplanade.

Vibration/noise through the walls of room 11 during the night, some sort of machine working elsewhere in the building but staff rectified this as soon as I mentioned it, thank you.
