We stayed at this hotel until 15th MAY 2011 And found the the staff very good. Reading some reviews i was very apprehensive. We arrived at approx 3am and found the guy in reception waiting to help us, A+ We needed two rooms for our group but were seperated and the next morning we asked at reception if we could... More

We arrived expecting the worst and were pleasantly surprised. Okay the furniture is a bit dated and the equipment is a bit hit and miss, but if you ask at reception they will arrange to put in your room anything thats missing. The travel cot for our grandaughter was like brand new and they arranged two fans for us to... More

We stayed for 7 nights in the Rio Apartments in September 2011. I wasn't expecting luxury as we hadn't paid very much for the stay. Reception was open when we arrived and the room (216) was clean. The cot i had requested was not provided but when i contacted reception it was brought to the room very quickly, there was... More
