Octave Castle Suites
Kitchenette suites with an outdoor pool, self-catering style
About this hotel
The kitchenette in every unit is the defining feature here: this is an apartment-hotel setup rather than a standard hotel room, suited to a longer stay where cooking a meal in occasionally beats eating out every night. The outdoor pool and free breakfast cover the basics, and Empire Restaurant, a minute's walk away, fills in when cooking isn't the plan. Life Style, two minutes away, covers a shopping run without a taxi. This is a 3-star property, the most modest star rating on this list, and the airport transfer reflects that distance from the main tourist and business zones: 56 minutes by taxi, over two hours by public transport. Guests booking here are almost always prioritising value and self-catering flexibility over polish.

Our take
This suits longer-stay travellers who want a kitchenette and an outdoor pool without paying resort prices, and who don't mind a 3-star, self-catering register rather than full hotel service. Empire Restaurant a minute away and Life Style two minutes away cover daily needs on foot. Anyone needing quick airport access should look elsewhere entirely, since the 56-minute taxi transfer and over two-hour public transport option both run long.
- ✓Book here specifically if a kitchenette matters to you, since this is an apartment-hotel setup rather than a standard hotel room.
- ✓Use Empire Restaurant a minute away for nights you don't want to cook, rather than relying on room service alone.
- ✓Plan well over an hour for any airport transfer, since both the taxi and public transport options run long from this location.
Why we love it
- Kitchenettes for a genuine self-catering stay
- An outdoor pool at a 3-star price point

- Life Style two minutes away for daily errands
Why guests love itOctave Castle Suites is built for a self-catering stay rather than a full-service resort: kitchenettes, free breakfast and an outdoor pool, a minute from Empire Restaurant and two minutes from the Life Style store. The trade-off is distance, with the airport a lengthy 56 minutes away by taxi, so it works better for guests settling in for several nights than for a quick overnight stop. Its 3-star rating still delivers an 8.6 guest score.
