Arrived at 12 noon after a long haul flight and although normal check in time is 3pm, my room wasn’t ready until 4-30pm. Drinks vouchers were offered but what I needed urgently was a shower and rest.

A great place to stay and enjoy this lovely city! The welcome by the staff has been fantastic and the food and staff in the restaurant is also fantastic! Many thanks to you all! Our room also is so lovely and homely with the living room enjoying views of the gardens and so very pleasant. The bathroom works really well and the king size bed is just like home! Thanks for everything. From the Bonds.
