A little disappointed

The welcome staff were great but that was where it ended. The waiter could not understand English and we are still waiting for our bottle of water. Restaurant was too over priced for what it was and most staff could not understand or speak English. On check out day we opened our door to go to breakfast and the cleaning trolly was directly in front of our door and we had to squeeze out as it blocked the door. Made you feel unwelcome and was difficult to get out with our luggage when we did check out as we had to squeeze past not very helpful for someone who suffers with sore joints

Not a 4 star in my opinion

Loation is great, staff is so friendly, facilities good as well. Breakfast is realy good - quality ingredients and fresh produce. Bad things- no bottled water in the room? Very bizare for 4 star hotel. Room was cold as it uses standard radiators rather than air con so you cant realy set proper temperarure.
