Choose Bella Vista because of being quiet and having a kitchette (new) found my room renovated with a new bar fridge with separate freezer at the top new appliances Crockery glasses fork knives spoons provided The only way to heat meals microwave I stayed for three days self catering Negative side not enough bench space to prepare meals you need to take tea towels micro wave containers chopping board

A good stay with reasonable price. But the bed is not that comfortable. And I had book a twin room but the room offered to us was much smaller than the one on the website. We had stayed for 2 nights but no towel changes and cleaning on the next day. Staff was friendly though.

Not keen on the bathroom. Shower water flow was almost non existent and taps were very temperamental, easy to burn yourself. Drains had a smell about them.

On arrival we went to reception to be greeted by an eye roll from the disgruntled manager. I enquired about the key to be told.. abruptly.. did you not receive a txt. Yep I might have,, but, sorry I was driving! Our visit was for a friends 60th. So.. when we got back to the unit later that evening, sat outside, for a minute, rude manager, approaches. Creepy and ordered us into our room. Go just go he said, while shuffling us inside. A terrible experience, Greg!!!! Rude and totally unnecessary. Will not return
