Great location! Friendly staff, excellent buffet breakfast and free ironing services but limited to two pieces per day.
Short on amenities, no swimming pool, no spar service and noice pollution in the night for rooms facing the garden. Advisable to carry your own iron.
Recommended if you are a business traveler and do not care about the missing amenities.
