The hotel is very busy. We stayed for 3 nights in a family room (1 king-size bed and bunk beds). Breakfast at as amazing, it is a very close to town centre and has amazing views. We did have 1 issue with the cleanliness of the bed sheets, noticeable brown stains on sheets while getting into bed. This was reported to reception immediately but it was nearly 30 mins before someone came to us and by that point we were changing the sheets ourselves. We approached reception again the next morning and they apologised and stated they would do something to make this up to us but never contacted us again. Also, when we arrived, we had to wait about 30 mins to enter the car park as although email confirmation had been received the hotel wee unable to find that we had booked parking which is in a public carpark next to the hotel. The pool is very safe and clean but there is a slight shortage of sunbeds in the later afternoon. The bar area/ outside soace is fun and lively but can be accessed straight if the street so is often very busy.

Very small rooms. From the picture, it seemed like a nice suite. It was an extremely small room with three beds stacked on top of each other. Barely any room to walk. Toilets smelled bad and did not have exhaust. Very old and cramped hotel.

I do not recommend this hotel at all! My stay at the hotel was unpleasant from start to finish. The rooms are unbearably noisy, and it doesn’t matter which direction the room faces. On one side, there’s constant noise from the pool during the day and from the garden with the billiards at night. On the other side, the rooms face the bar and restaurant, so the noise continues all night. You can’t sleep with the windows closed because there’s no air conditioning, and the heat is simply unbearable! To make matters worse, the internal lock on my room didn’t work properly, and at midnight, someone entered my room because the reception gave them the wrong room! It was a terrifying and unsafe experience. Overall, my stay at this hotel was extremely disappointing and did not meet any of my expectations.
