When I checked in they were unaware of my reservation. I was then given a nice room - but once I had unpacked I was moved to a different room that had no lake view and was not as described.

In a very quiet area, clean, equipped with hairdryer drinking bottle water provided every day, but no tea/ coffee facilities in room. The bathroom is ok but a little licks of water. Wonderful service staff members couldn’t do enough for you always with great smile. Will definitely go back again

The property claims its rooms to have lake view. They don't. Actually, the first night, they put me in a basement. 2nd night 2nd floor but still no lake view. I don't think anyone of their rooms have lake view. They shouldn't advertize wrongly like that. It is misleading. That being said, the staff tried to make up to the disappointment. They are very friendly and helpful.

Practical and friendly
I stayed here for a couple of nights as a way to break up a long journey. It was clean, welcoming and well positioned. The water pressure and water temperature was much better than I have received in so-called 5 star places. The staff always have a friendly smile and greeting. ATM's right by the hotel, fish market and bird park 5 minutes walk, Italian restaurant next door. Perfect place for what I needed.
