Good location and friendly staff. The room was nice and clean. 2 points: 1) room was between the reception, the dining area, and the staff quarters. On the first night there was a lot of noise outside the room. Some form of argument between guests and the staff member. With argument concluded the staff was shouting loudly on the phone to someone until 23:50. 2) water in the water filter was dirty. When I pointed it out the staff did remove the dirty water but bad that it hadn’t been checked!

I really enjoyed my stay in the house of leisure!! It is a huge building with british oriented interior and a lot of chill areas. I had a food poisoning during my stay and the staff was so helpful and I could even extend my checkout. The beds are really comfortable and it was giving villa feelings. Definitely would come again!!

I really enjoyed my stay at this place. It was super comfortable and the host was very welcoming. Anytime we had questions he was more than happy to help us. The room I got was amazing, only thing was the shower was placed in an odd part which made the toliet get all wet. But no other complaints. This place has stunning landscape views and quite a few common room areas where you can chill out. Another thing is I didn’t find it as social maybe one to think about if you are solo travelling :)
