We only read the reviews of this hotel after we had booked our holiday. We were amazed at the differences in reviews. This is not a 4 star hotel one is accustomed to. At best it is an average 3 star. Many of the reviewers comment that the room was... read more

The hotel was clean and welcoming! However our room was appalling - the furniture was dated, the beds had seen better days and were so uncomfortable and our balcony door was jammed shut, probably due to the fact that it looked 50yrs old!

BE WARNED. This is NOT a four star hotel. Whist the rooms are well maintained and clean, the food, in both quality and choice is ABYSMAL. Yes, the restaurant staff were very attentive and polite (which is more than could be said for the barstaff) and... read more
