Average Hotel Stay. Some Issues Noted.
broken jacuzzinoisy door
The jacuzzi was broken. I chose this hotel specifically for that amenity. It was unavailable . The noise was disruptive because my room was close to the emergency exit. Staff used the door frequently, slamming it shut at all hours. This made sleeping difficult.

the downstairs bar closed early, at 5pm, a slight disappointment for an evening drink

The breakfast included almost everything possible. service was attentive and kind. obviously the hotel is well managed. the location was excellent. The barman was very helpful.
The swimming pool was available only for one hour during the day. This was not ideal. you also need a cap. This can be purchased at the reception. such information should be shared upfront as i booked this hotel because of swimming pool. It was not easy to access
