My 2 rooms were on the ground level next to the lobby. It was noisy until late at night. The room, furniture, kitchen and bathroom were all very old. The shower was in a bad shape. The restaurant and dinner buffet had very low quality food for fairly high prices. Much nicer restaurant are all around the hotel with good food and good services. The hotel is located in a great area though.

The hotel is short distance from downtown; walking or by cab. We walked into town and took cabs back. The front desk staff are so helpful. The breakfast buffet is very very good. There is an abundance of places to eat dinner near the hotel. Great little kitchenette area with fridge. If you are a hotel pool person this hotel is great.

Noisy

Not ideal with building construction or demolition going going on, I came to relax, not have my head pounded by hammers, drills and dust. Thankfully the reception team took pity on us and transferred us to another. To have been advised in advance would have bee n a good idea, rather than attempting to sell transfers from the airport!

Will stop there again

All good, I used the hotel to explore island and was close to transport routes local buses, tourist buses and quick to get a Bolt cab. Had cooking facilities in room, so I didn’t have to wait around for breakfast (or get up early on chill days) Sea view from balcony was good.
