Sunny Lakes

1 night in junior suite #901 - clean, spacious, with a separate living room and open desk and kitchen area. By kitchen, I mean a mini-fridge, coffee and tea facilities (powdered milk), including a kettle, and the usual bar amenities. The decor, furnishings and dark ambiance had a corporate feel and lacked warmth and charm. Our suite had bathrobes & slippers, a safe, 2 TVs, a separate toilet room and a variety of toiletries. More importantly, it had comfortable pillows and an excellent shower. But no face cloths – regrettably, the standard in Europe, and no bidet. The bed was also quite hard – of course, a matter of personal preference. Effective blackout drapes. The hotel’s breakfast room was bright, attractive, and contemporary, and the spread was excellent (eg, 3 types of sausage!) Breakfast ends at 10am – same time as checkout – this is non-standard. Both should be at the earliest 10:30am. Our biggest disappointment – and the reason for 4 stars, not 5 – was that we requested gluten-free breakfast options 11 days before arrival (celiac disease), and were assured this would be provided. It was not; apparently every other day they had it, but not the day we were there. There’s convenient free parking in front and on the street. It is also close to the main square – about 10 mins walk - which is beautiful and worth a visit even if you are only in transit as we were. On balance, we would recommend Hotel Yasmin if the shortcomings I mentioned aren’t an issue for you.

Large room. Good breakfast. Very clean.

Excellent modern hotel, comfortable beds, excellent AC and great amenities as you’d expect.
