The room is fine, but the bathroom was pretty underwhelming.
They had a pretty rooftop with sea view though

Lovely people who work here, always smiling and ready to help or advise.
(Maybe the cleaners need to pick up some hair from the shower drain however maybe people need to learn to clean up after themselves in this regard) ✌️
