Good hotel, good location

Our third stay here and as good as previously. Although the bus station is so near and convenient the hotel is in a quiet location. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Room had everything we needed. Particularly liked the room lighting. Often hotels have bedroom lighting too dim to read by. Reception staff very helpful.. Will stay again.

A nice well maintained hotel. We had hired a car so the free car park opposite was a bonus. Near to many restaurants, breakfast at the hotel was good. Roof top bathing area with a pool was super, if cold, just what you needed in the heat. Room was nice and clean but bed a bit hard.

2/10 Poor

I stayed here a few weeks ago. I would never stay here again, it was an absolute disaster. My wifi did not work. I barely had any air con in my room, the phone to reception did not work and was not screwed in properly. There were constant works going on at all hours of the day. I didn't sleep for a week and felt exhausted when I got back instead of refreshed. Then to compound matters on the Fri before I left on the Sat, the safety deposit box would not open at all. Had I not had the where with all to get my passport etc out and waited until the Sat I would have missed my flight. It took a guy called Skyse in maintenance who could barely speak English and a guy on reception called Glenn over 1.5 hours to get the safe open. You could not write it and spoilt my last night. I made an official complaint to several people and in writing and they just completely blank you. They just do not respond. In the end I had to escalate via hotels.com and whilst could not get money back they have provided me with 50% of my share of what I paid. Overall where possible go via a travel agent as booking direct is very very risky. Down as a 4 star no way it is at all. Stay clear.

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately we didn't realise the room we have booked it was very small (the door didn't open because of the bed, there was no space to walk around the bed). The bathroom was very small and damp, no balcony, only a small window. The window was pointing towards the inner garden terrace which had karaoke, loud music and loud conversations.
