Yes, I recommend this property.
Really enjoyed the stylish and well appointed rooms although a little smaller than anticipated for the price with no surfaces / desk and minimal wardrobe space.
Bathroom excellent apart from several long black hairs found on the floor which were rather off-putting.
Swimming pool an excellent amenity and well heated.

No, I do not recommend this property.
The staff meant well but they all seemed to be untrained, scared of their own shadow and unable for the most part to answer our questions or address our needs. For example we asked for a laundry bag to submit laundry for cleaning and had to ask several times. Then when the laundry was done it was not brought in our room nor were we even notified it was ready. We found it hanging on something when we went down to reception to ask about it. that's just one example.

No, I do not recommend this property.
Stayed from Friday to Sunday.
Friday expressed issue with the bathroom mirror - was told they would look into it. Also the soap dispenser for sink was empty, this was refilled after I called reception.
Saturday - re mirror - told cant be fixed but offered room swap which i declined. Also soap dispenser in shower empty - asked to refill - this did not happen.
Bed's were not made requested this 3 times.
Never were made.
Sunday left and expressed issues on check out and was offered an apology and a coffee.
The hotel accommodation was fine however the staff seemed to say they would help, nothing got done. Bed was not made after we arrived on the Friday. And obviously the amenities were not checked as over the 2 days the 2 soap dispensers were empty. One was refilled and the other not. Not impressed at all

Hi Jen
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay.
Regarding the bathroom mirror, we were informed that it was ok, just a notice. On weekend, we don't have any maintenance on site ; However, we would have tried to fix it if we know that it would deeply affected your stay. We sorry that we were neglecting on your serviced, we have passed your feedback on to the related department and will make sure we pay better housekeeping attention to your future stay.
We understand that an apology and a coffee at checkout did not make up for the issues you faced, and I truly appreciate your patience in bringing this to our attention.
Thank you again for your feedback. We will use it to make necessary improvements, and I hope you will consider staying with us again in the future to experience a much more seamless stay.

Many hairs at the bathroom area, should pay extra attention on cleanliness. Others are good, in terms of hotel location.
Hotel staffs are nice too, willing to extend support immediately, but just long queue for check in and out.
