amazing chefcramped roomsmall kettle

the breakfast chef was amazing, and i liked the sausage they gave my dog.

I was seriously disappointed by the room. it felt cramped and dingy. I had to use my phone's flashlight just to see the kettle. calling it 'intimate' doesn't change the fact that it was way too small and definitely not worth the money i paid.

Really good Stay with Attentive Service

helpful assistancebreakfast optioncentral locationuncomfortable chair

The staff offered friendly, helpful assistance throughout. The breakfast had well-prepared options and provided a good start each day. I used the honesty bar and enjoyed the selection of beer, wine, and spirits. The location was central with beautiful views.

I noticed a lack of comfortable chairs in the room. The only alternative was to sit on the bed, not ideal for relaxation during downtime. It would be nice with a comfortable chair or armchair.

the room felt rather cramped i had to use my phone's flashlight to see into the cupboard where they kept the tea and coffee supplies it was supposed to be a 'intimate' room according to the hotel description the resident's lounge was locked up tight at 11pm and in the room itself there were hardly any comfortable chairs so i basically had to sit on the bed all the time

The breakfasts were delicious and made to order by the chef. I loved the fresh squeezed orange juice each morning. My room had panoramic sea views and I found the bed super comfy. The staff were helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

The overhead light was bright in the lounge. I switched it off because it was too harsh. The manager turned it back on and said she had other guests to consider. I found the glare unpleasant and the situation unnecessary.

i stayed in a beautiful double room with a balcony and it was great. the staff was very cute, polite and thankful. i really liked the morning apple juice and pastries delivered to the door to set me up for breakfast (the breakfast choices were plentiful). surroundings, and staff service.

the residents' lounge was locked at 11 pm. the room lacked comfortable chairs, so i had to sit on the bed (not very convenient).
