My stay here was quite disappointing. While the rooms are spacious, they are in desperate need of upgrading and the service was lacking. I encountered uncomfortable beds and unclean facilities. On the upside, there was a restaurant on-site, but the dining options were limited, and the staff seemed unfriendly. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here.

I found this hotel to have a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for families. The rooms were spacious, and the location in Blackheath is a bonus, away from the bustling tourist spots. However, the dining experience was hit or miss, with the restaurant not always available and breakfast options limited. On the downside, the service at the restaurant left much to be desired, with inconsistent housekeeping throughout my stay.

The kids loved the heated pool, and the breakfast was a highlight with its delicious options.
