Really good Stay, Highly Recommended

guest lounge meditation space great facilities quick contact
The hotel is close to transport and many attractions. The guest lounge provided complimentary drinks and appetizers for generous hours each day in a comfortable setting. I really liked the bathing and meditation spaces. The hotel contacted me quickly after I checked out, letting me know I had left money in the safe. They contacted me within 30 minutes of my checkout to inform me about the money I left behind. The afternoon tea and evening snack were great additions to the amazing facilities. The baths were also lovely.
The lighting in my room was too complex.

lovely hotel close to transport

the hotel was quite close to the bus and train. the staff were quite friendly and also very helpful. i found the lounge option provided free drinks for a portion of the evening.
i arrived around midday and waited until 5 pm to check in, even though the time was 3 pm. they offered breakfast, then told me it was not included , which caused confusion. the bar closed earlier than advertised for free drinks.
