Sep 20, 2026Lovely hotel in a very convenient location. The staff were very nice and helpful. Our room was spacious and nicely decorated, the bathroom was really lovely and good toiletries. The pool is small but very nice for cooling off. There is a small bar on the roof terrace and a happy hour every evening. Breakfast was brilliant, all in all a really nice hotel which I would go back to.

Jul 5, 2026We booked this hotel based on location which is excellent as it is located in the main hub of Valentte and easily accessible to the waterfront, restaurants, shopping and public transport.
The hotel looks snug initially but rooms and bathroom are spacious and well maintained in maintained.
There is a pool in the terrace where they serve light meals and drinks.
Water is topped up everyday and room is tidied up.
We enjoyed our stay very much and will stay here again without hesitation
Definitely recommend staying here.
