“We had a great time. Quite a way from the City Centre but easy on the Metro. Great because we were the only Brits there - it appeared to be family groups and works outings. Food was good, nice staff and the entertainment was fun. We were on a City Break so it made a nice change away from the tourist centre. Recommended.”
