There are a couple of large hotels being built directly across the river from this place - it was quite noisy and ehen they are finished will spoil the view!

Nice spot on the river with good views but the room, although large , lacked comforts. They provided a jug, cups and saucers but no tea , sugar or whitener. When asked for the latter they said it was only for VIP rooms.Then why provide the jug etc. I emailed in special requests for a low pillow [so I would not have a headache for days after] and found only extra high firm pillows in the room.Staff had poor English and it took a lot of explanation but eventually they came up with a little flat cushion, which worked for me. Worst of all was the breakfast. Everything was tepid, the food kept in the danger zone. It was a health risk. There were burners under each food receptacle, but not one was on. We ate mainly bread as we were fearful of gastroenteritis from the other foods which appeared to be ideal bacterial culture mediums. The rooms were large but had very little furniture, with no comfortable chairs.The beds themselves were comfortable but the balconies were covered with dust from the earthworks [which were noisy] across the river. The grounds were large and pleasant and the pool large and clean. We enjoyed this. Th estaff were helpful in retrieving my sandals which I had left by the pool the night before, however I could not understand why they had to wait until morning, as they did not seem to have a lost property procedure.
