This is a hard review to write - part of me wants to give it two stars, but in the end, I have settled for three. We booked this hotel knowing it was a training hotel, so we went there knowing that we might need to be patient on a few things. The pluses? The hotel was in a fantastic... More

I had not realised that it was a training hotel, but this actually answers our questions about the service. We had rooms on the second floor, but no help to carry our bags up - finally, one of the young men took a shine to one of my daughters and helped her. Steps are steep, and really quite an issue....

However the hotel was immaculate and aspired to Western standards - very modern bathroom, good fixtures and fittings. The staff were lovely and... More
