The location was exceptional we were able to walk everywhere and did some KMs while we were there!
The rooms we changed to were ideal, as we were two couples travelling together. Views in these rooms although limited we could still see the water.
We originally booked through booking.com, as above as two couples. The room allocated was somewhat poor for our needs. But Tony was able to offer alternate rooms which suited our needs much better.

Great location, neat and tidy, comfy bed
The soap dispenser in the shower was empty, as was the hand wash and body lotio. The dispensers are not easy to use. Would recommend going back to individual bottles of body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and packets of soap.
8.0
being close to the outdoor garden and pool, which were very accessible from the particular rooms in which we stayed. Also the closeness to the Strand.
At the entrance to the hotel outside a locked gate is a sign indicating that there is a lift. Unfortunately the sign is in front of the gate and there is no indication how to get through it to the lift. Because of this we carried heavy cases up very steep stairs.( The other entrance is not visible or indicated.

Bed was uncomfortable, worn out.
Room got too cold and noisy at night due to the aircon not being allowed to switch off at any time.

Beautiful location on the Strand
Taps in the shower leak and there was a strange noise during the night, presumably from the AC. Also asked for a waterview room and instead we had the carpark next door.

The air conditioner was not working. Spoke to reception, said the technician was working on it. Didn’t advise it would not be working the second night. It was very hot and uncomfortable. No explanation or option for discount or room change or refund. Very disappointing.

Close to Strand and Restaurants
Room above car park, sound and smell of vehicles all nights. Unfortunately, we forgot our key was left in our room, thinking we both had it. Right on 5pm, so we called the number, not know the staff member hadn't left, we were told a $50 free, to get someone there, but their female staff member had heard us and was on the premises at the time. At any time, did she try to assist us. New management needs to look at their services and improve on customer service
