Myself and my girlfriend did not enjoy our stay at this hotel as much as we thought we would.

After reading various mixed reveiws, we decided to go over with an open mind.

We arrived at the Dana Palace Hotel around 02.30am and... read more

We had a very good time at this hotel with me, my friend, my mum and dad. The staff were very friendly especially the good looking receptionist who worked during the day.

Having heard so many bad reports about this hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. The Thomson rep whose name was Emma, didn’t exactly fill us with confidence when we asked her about the hotel. Her exact words were, well you get what you pay for!

We booked this as a last minute price breaker with Thompson and had a great time. The price breaker promised either a 3 or 4 star hotel deal, and we'd resigned ourselves to the 3* deal before we arrived as we'd booked so late. I'm sure the other hotels... read more

Where do I start! This 'hotel' is incorrectly classed as a 3 star. Although only around 2 years old it appeared much older and worse for wear.

Dana Palace is not a 3 star hotel. The bed linen smells of smoke as its stored in the cleaning room where the cleaners smoke. The food is repetitive, and not for the British palette. The carpet in the corridors are rising, and is a trip hazard.
