Place is awesome
Only challenge I had was just inconsiderate roommates.
Also when booked on Agoda the receptionist said you must also call even after getting confirmation
6.4 / 10.0Average·May 2025
People there. Especially Nicola is on a power trip. Trying to show people whomis boss. No personality. Might as well work at an undertaker. Biast. Worst management ever. Cant deal with clients. Best not to book there. They WILL treat you like a criminal. All the staff has a cip on their shoulder and everyone wants to be the boss. If you would like to be treated as a child go there. Better places around. Spend alot of money just to be treated like shit. Shame on you. Get some training and clean your place
