This is a fun hotel. A little 2020 “woke” in the branding but it’s in on the joke I think. “Heterofriendly” had me laughing as I’ve always thought, oh wow, hotel, thanks for being “gay-friendly”. In terms of amenities and spacious rooms it’s hard to beat in this old town.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Didn’t really like our room. Balcony was terrible, looked out onto 2 garages with graffiti all over them. A noisy sports place and straight across the road, was a place for old age pensioners to go and do activities. But the people would come out, look up to our balcony and give dirty looks. Not friendly at all. Would never go back

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was pretty average. Nothing particulalry wrong with it, but not good value for money. The service was good and friendly. The room was ok, nice an big but the layout was not functional at all. no place to place your toiletries while using the sink. there was no headboard, the switches and outlets were behind the bed, we kept on bumping into them at night. The bed was not comfortable at all. The spa was good, but the swimming pool was terrible. Not enough umbrellas for all the chairs, the pool was very small and very shallow. All in all it's ok if you get it for good price, but I would not pay a premium for it.

Ok position for hotel, you can walk to everything but next time I would go closer to old town (personal preference). Staff were lovely and provided recommendations. Spa, sauna and steam room were fantastic. Our room was a little small and fridge not cold! Overall good hotel
