Service charge is not included but a tip is expected.

Breakfast is included in the price of your room and this is buffet only. Because the buffet selection is situated on a wooden platform in the centre of the restaurant, it becomes somewhat hectic. There should have been a one way system in place as it was just one massive free for all and as a result very hectic.

Breakfast items included three selections of cereals which you pour out of canisters, yoghurts, fruit, dry cake similar to Madeira cake, croissants plain or chocolate, dry toast, bread rolls, cheese, hams, crackers, biscuits and fresh orange juice. If you want tea and coffee, its make your own by placing the tea (and there are many bags available) or coffee granules into a cup and pour in the hot water from the jugs provided. The milk is fresh and unlike the stuff in the hotel room, it tasted delicious with my Earl Grey. Just like the buffet in the evening and lunch time, everything is on a bed of ice and chilled to perfection. You can eat as much as you like but the minute the restaurant shuts, everything is removed within seconds, including your plate if you haven't finished.

The opening times are: morning - 6.30 am to 9.30 am, lunch 12 - 2pm and dinner 7.30- 10 pm. It is best to get to the restaurant at least an hour before closing otherwise you will be turned away.

The waitress service was actually quite comical, it reminded me of the BBC comedy show "Faulty Towers". The poor girls were rushing around the tables like little ants, watched by the manager aka Basil Fawlty. I appreciate the restaurant was always busy but the staff were so accident prone. We lost count the amount of times glasses were dropped, plates were smashed, flowers were knocked over and waitresses skidded on the floor. No dinner was dropped whilst we were there.

I must admit I really enjoyed the buffet food but what let the restaurant down was the amount of smoking allowed here as well. There were no designated areas for smokers and we were sitting right amongst the fumes. It was quite choking and there was no ventilation regardless of the hotel having air conditioning, which I saw no sign of at that time of our stay.

* THINGS TO DO THERE*

Apparentley you can use the facilities next door which included a swimming pool and bowling. However everything was shut whilst we were there and to be honest the hotel offered nothing to do and was absolutely boring. Even the river cruises were closed and these were situated opposite the hotel.
