Reviews
We had 3 adults and a baby. Room was quite tight with a travel cot and a settee folded into a double bed settee but a fridge and good air con in the room.
The staff was unprofessional and cold, showing no sense of hospitality. There was a complete absence of management,despite multiple attempts to speak with a manager to resolve an issue we encountered during our stay, we were repeatedly ignored. Eventually, the reception bluntly told us, "They don’t want to see you."
On arrival, the bed sheets were torn, the mattress was old and extremely uncomfortable, and the pillows had a terrible smell. The balcony was left dirty for days, and the overall cleanliness of the hotel was far below acceptable standards.
This place barely meets the standards of a low-end motel, let alone a 4-star hotel.
To make matters worse, there was an incident where the door slammed shut on someone's finger, and the hotel staff showed zero empathy or reaction ,no assistance, no apology, absolutely nothing.
This experience completely ruined our vacation. We expected comfort and basic respect,we received neither.

Alarm bells ringing when old soiled drink mats brought out to put our glasses on.
Food awful. Daughters chicken soup had a cockroach in it. Proprietor apologised and brought out 2 more soups which we left.
Roast chicken was greasy and fried chicken tasted processed.
They have photos of Gordon Ramsey in their menu from when he was there a number of years ago, helping to them to improve the quality and service.
He would go mental if he set foot in there now.
Do yourself a favour and carry on walking past. There's some restaurants further along that may not be in as good a location, but the food is miles better.
