Cleanliness is OK. However the hotel is being refurbished in spite of the need for a full renovation. Doesn't comply with a 4 star hotel by Southern Sun. Serious issue with ventilation as the main lobby and restaurant area smell like fish. Corridors and rooms smell fungus, and I had to keep the room window open all the time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan Grønnegaard 24 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Dan Grønnegaard Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 16 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Guy 21 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Holiday in Tanzania Great hotel to stay when organizing for a safari in our of the bush or heading to Pemba or Zanzibar. ##### Guy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Ballsbridge.h2232529.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in East Sussex](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-East-Sussex-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6046200-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Chantry Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-Chantry-Hotel.h18064627.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Newton Hotel (Near Inverness Airport)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nairn-Hotels-Muthu-Newton-Hotel.h912874.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Alcúdia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcudia-Villas.d182271-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels with Parking in Marylebone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marylebone-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n800053-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton London Angel Islington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Angel-Islington.h436270.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun The Cullinan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Southern-Sun-The-Cullinan.h118030.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Benalmádena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benalmadena-Villas.d500652-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Orlando-Resort-Bonnet-Creek.h4408039.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Airport Transfers in Naples](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hotel-With-Airport-Transfers.0-0-d6034774-thotelwithairporttransfers.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Burleigh on the Beach Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-On-The-Beach-Holiday-Apartments.h9625452.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Duca d'Alba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Duca-DAlba.h10964.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Llangollen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangollen-Hotels.d4384.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Glenfinnan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glenfinnan-Hotels.d6128674.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Bangkok (BKK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/bkk/liverpool-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from Chania (CHQ) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/chq/lgw/chania-to-london) > > [Flights from Rhodes (RHO) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/rho/ath/rhodes-to-athens) > > [KLM Cardiff (CWL) to Florence (FLR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/klm-from-cardiff-intl-to-peretola/kl/cwl/flr) > > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Belfast (BHD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/bhd/east-midlands-to-belfast) > > [Flights from Providenciales (PLS) to Nassau (NAS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pls/nas/providenciales-to-nassau) > > [Flights from Elche (ALC) to Madrid (MAD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/alc/mad/alicante-to-madrid) ### Activities > [Things to do in Salalah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Salalah.d6132442.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Catania](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Catania.d924.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Holiday Rentals > [Peterborough Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peterborough-Holiday-Rentals.d5655.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Trapani City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trapani-Trapani-City-Centre.dx553248633938935387) > > [Visit Cairnryan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairnryan.dx6062857) > > [Visit Kilmichael Glassary](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmichael-Glassary.dx3000010943)
