I was a bit disappointed with this place. I guess it was OK but everything just seemed old and unfashionable and average and I think I was given a smoking room as it was a bit smelly. The carpets were several terrible designs and all clashing with each other. I am sure whomever designed them must have been blind, as... More

We arrived at 4 am to find that all the staff were asleep and that we had been moved from one section of this sprawling complex to another . We humped our luggage through miles of corridors. The rooms were OK but not really what we were looking for. If travellers like vast conference venues - we didn't find a... More

Made the mistake of opting for the buffet in the evening. Started clearing the food after we had been in the restaurant for 20 minutes. However they reimbursed one of the meals and... More

Stayed at this hotel for three nights! Great location, walking distance to everywhere! Rooms are a bit small and but has everything and bathrooms very well appointed. The only thing I struggled with was the bed, my husband and I both like quite form mattresses but this matress was extremely hard and this was quite uncomfortable. The hotel staff were... More
