Koora Hotel by Sandglass

Koora Hotel by Sandglass

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very clean. We had an issue with our safety deposit box when we got there, but the staff was easy to contact and very quick to resolve the problem. Staff are very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful in booking activities. The included breakfast was delicious, so were the 2 dinners at the restaurant. Very friendly staff."
