WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
“The room was clean and neat, the staff were friendly. Excellent value for money. central within walking distance (if you need a wee bit of exercise) no complaints, accommodation at the lower end of Dollars spent. But have stayed in much more expensive places with no real change in room or service. Well Done Arkana!”
