Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Fantastic hotel in the perfect location. Well appointed and stocked. Lots of tea/coffee etc. Complimentary beers and waters. Great friendly staff where nothing was too much effort!
Negative: Breakfast vouchers should be higher to include a meal and coffee/beverage. Especially when dining at il de Pain option as the meals are pricy.
Summary: Amazing gem on Thesen island
