I have already planned thru other service provided

What i planned first time on the Hotels.com. The total stay with insurance was not satisfied at all. Mistakenly used Hotels.com. Tried to call your number from local number as well International seems after sale service is below standard. Similarly hotels didn't take seriously.

Great but the room size

Everything was very good except the room size is small and the tram path is very close to the hotel so there is a little of noise when passing by

The staff were fantastic especially at front desk.Couldnt do enough for us all looked after very well. Used hamam and spa facilities . Very good.Breakfast plenty of choice.Bright airy room
Diane, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our stay got off to a bad start. We booked a family suite 3months before arrival, for me my wife and 2 young daughters. When we arrived we were told there was no family suite so could have 2 separate rooms next door to each other. It wasn't ideal but we had no choice but to accept. I didn't get a clear answer as to whether there were no family suites or there were some but they had been double booked. After that our stay was fine. Breakfast is good, staff were friendly and the hotel was nice and clean and comfortable. Our kids especially enjoyed the small pool in the basement after hot days walking around the city sites.
