4. The supposedly famous 'Shula's Bar,' was overrated in my opinion and overpriced but other than that we had free upgrades on our room and the place was generally kept tidy.

5. the only thing we could moan about the room was the walls were very thin so you could here neighbours chatting & when the toilet was flushed you heard that very clear aswell & the fridge with nibbles in was very very overpriced.

9. Free delicious coffee/tea and a ridiculously overpriced mini bar (but who would use this with an array of bars on your doorstep?? (I'm told if you remove anything from the mini bar even to have a quick look, it automatically charges to your room, so do becareful of this) The beds are out of this world, massive, comfy and absolutely living up to their well-deserved name.
