Reviews
I also noticed a few other guests having problems with their room access cards, so it seemed like there were some system issues that night.
On a positive note, one staff member kindly assisted me to my room and explained the amenities and breakfast schedule, which I appreciated. The room itself was nice and comfortable, and I especially liked the large mirror on the wall.
However, the soundproofing could be improved, as I could hear noise from the corridor and the next room after midnight.
I had breakfast twice during my stay. The food was decent, but it was the same both days. It would be nice if they offered more variety on different days.
I was able to use the gym, which was fine, but unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy the swimming pool because the water was too cold.
Overall, the hotel has good potential and some friendly staff, but there are areas that could be improved, especially with check-in efficiency, noise control, and breakfast variety.
Room bed was bit older
Taxi people fighting outside
Too much noice
Totally not worth it.
Where they loose the star, the decor feels dated, the sun lounges by the pool aren’t cleaned daily, in my room there were 3 minor repairs needed and the restaurant only offered pizza, pasta and salad even though they still present you with a full menu for including mains of steak, chicken and fish.
I would stay there again.
I stayed here with my girlfriend for one week, and overall, I’d rate this hotel around 3.5–3.8 stars at best, despite it being advertised as a 5-star property.
Positive Aspects:
The staff were consistently polite, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. For example, when our TV stopped working, they quickly sent someone to fix it without any hassle.
The rooftop swimming pools were genuinely enjoyable and a highlight of the hotel.
Negative Aspects:
Room condition: The toilet seat was broken, the mattress was stained and discolored, the fridge barely kept water cool, and the jacuzzi on our balcony didn’t work (though oddly, the one next door seemed to be functional).
Cleanliness and trust issues: Towels at the rooftop pool had a bad smell, and more concerning, I had money go missing from my room. It wasn’t a large amount, but it’s unsettling to lose trust in your accommodation.
Gym facilities: The fitness center was in poor shape — the treadmill didn’t work, equipment was torn, paper cups were left around, and overall it looked neglected.
Value for money: Treatments like massages were overpriced. I paid less than half the cost just a couple of streets away for both a massage and Turkish bath, compared to what the hotel charges for just a massage.
Final Thoughts:
Although the staff were kind and the pools were great, the overall condition of the rooms and facilities did not live up to the 5-star claim. For what we paid £517 for one week.
