The room was a good size and was pretty clean, a decent start to the stay.
The heating in my Single Room was busted, it blasted heat all night. I tried calling reception but no one answered at that hour. I had to open the window in January, so , made the room freezing. I had no option to get comfortable.

The gym had top equipment.
The offer I wanted was not available for my dates, though the website had no date restrictions. The replies from the hotel seemed defensive. This made me cancel my reservation. The owner then reposted an untrue response and suggested that I demanded a discount. This was not true.

Breakfast featured fresh, local ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the yoghurts and acacia honey. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, they ensured a nice experience.
The lack of a mini-fridge in my room was slightly inconvenient for storing some personal food items. It would add value to the room.
