Had a 2 night stay, comfortable bed, quiet and clean. Walking distance to restaurants and lake. Great value for the price would highly recommend and would stay again. Just remember close the toilet window if the light is on as the mozzies will move in.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom Stella suite, excellent facilities, proper cooker & hob! Plenty of space within the apartment. Excellent location to base yourself with easy parking and ideal for an evening walk after a long day exploring. Would definitely stay again.

4/10 Fair

We were put in Room 1 eventhough we were first to arrive at check in time. This is by far the worst room with the standpipes from the volcanic steam venting and condensing immediately outside the kitchen and bathroom windows. It would be better further away. I couldn't sleep with all the sulphur smell and woke up nauseated. I book through Expedia as when there are rooms that are preferentially better then there is a price difference and people can choose. Too bad as staff was so kind with many thoughtful amenities.

4連泊しましたが、どのスタッフも親切で快適にすごせました。 アクティビティーの予約も、こちらの要望を詳細に聞いてくれ、ショーの予約やタクシー手配もしてくれ大変助かりました。 料金は、少し高めかもしれませんが、アットホームな雰囲気で、リラックスできました。皆さんにもお勧めします!

Everything was pretty great. Only feedback i would have is that the rooms need to be updated. The shower head was on the verge of breaking. Any time you would have a shower it would leak into the hallway.
