“Good location, nice room, good breakfast”
“A nice hotel, with friendly staff, good breakfast, and a short walk into town.”
“Rooms are well designed with excellent reading lamps. Storage place for bicycles. Breakfast was good and staff friendly. Hotel short walking distance from good restaurants.”
“The hotel was nice and is a good base for the gorge and close to town with lots of restaurants. We did however have an issue with our room, there was a sour smell of gone off milk in the kitchen area which we reported to reception three times but it was never resolved. It was quite pungent and in the end my partner pulled the fringe out and cleaned behind it and inside and finally the smell went. The hotel should've done this. The room was a little rough around the edges and the balcony was concrete and not a pleasant place to sit so we didn't use it. The communal areas were nice, pool was clean and we enjoyed breakfast. Appreciated aircon and beds were very comfortable.”
