06 December 2025Private function on in the Bar led to a very uncomfortable stay due to all the fighting and no heads up from the staff. Was unable to get back into the hotel until the guards cleared the area. Breakfast excellent. Beds too high.

30 October 2025The walls are very thin so it can be very noisy at times. The window in the room was also broken so a big contributory to further noise. Also, the door to the room was not the best, so you don't always feel safe.
