Apollo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpfull staff. Rooms were tidy. Small thing to mention, First room had missing TV remote and in second one, it was not working. It didn't affect our stay as we don't use it. You need to pre-book swimming pool and the slot is 45min starting on the hour. This prevents it from being over-crowded, which is a plus. Overall very pleased with our stay. Recommended!"
