Holiday Pavilion Villa Hotel

This has to be the worst three star hotel I have ever seen! The receptionist was impolite, for the two of us we we're given a small room with three single-beds in it, breakfast was poor, there was mold in the bathroom etc. etc. Never going back!

Oh my god! This hotel suck! The room was so small! I guess the toilet was even bigger!! The double room bed is just like a single bed size! I never seen such a small double bed in my life. At the beginning, i thought that the blanket and pillow were clean, but then when i took out the top blanket, JEEEZ, there is so many old sperm from the people who stayed there before sticking around the blanket.. My god, that was a REAL nightmare! The breakfast? so little choice (2 kinds of bread and 2 kinds of marmalade, thats all you can choose) The... more

My wife and I stayed three nights at the hotel and enjoyed every moment of our stay. We have to say that when we first checked in, we were expecting a very small room as we had read the previous reviews of the hotel. We stayed on the 3rd floor and although the room was relatively small, it was adequate for our needs. The bathroom was very very clean and we had no problems with hot water as experienced by other guests. We normally took our baths very late at night after coming back from sightseeing and never once were we faced with a lack of... more

i have travelled to 3rd world countries and stayed in VERY primative hotels, but i must say that this was my worst travel experience related to a hotel stay! hot water was available on a hit or miss basis. the room was totally mis-represented to us, and when they offered us another room, THAT room was so small you had to vault the first bed, which touched the wall at head and foot, to reach the SECOND bed in the room.{they must save the 2nd room as their "threat" if you complain.} the closet was 7 inches wide{good for a source of... more

I stayed at the hotel over spring break (March '04) via a gotoday--- package with my friends and was pleasantly surprised. The room was very, very clean and the bathroom looked newly renovated and was bright and very, very, very clean. Maid service was excellent! Hot water was a big problem for my showers and my showers were always coldish-luke warm to the point of unpleasant. I never complained, though. Continental breakfast was OK. Nothing special, but not awful and adequate to get you through the day till lunch. Bed was fairly... more

Maybe it depends on the timing of your trip....in reading some of these reviews literally days before my family left for London, I was very nervous about what we would find. Happily, we were very pleased with the hotel, and would definitely go there again. No school groups in the hotel during our visit (April 9-14); mostly couples and families. No issue with smoke in the hotel at all, which was important to us as we had requested no-smoking rooms; only saw one guest smoking in the lobby area. We had adjoining rooms on the 1st floor at the... more

Well, where do i start, as you enter the building it stinks like an off incense - after being told of my room number there was water dripping from the ceiling in the bathroom AND over the bed - crying and disgusted, no sympathy from the front desk than given another room!!!! gee thanks!!!! . You SHOULD NOT stay here because they need to renovate urgently as the floors are extremely creeky and unstable and someone is going to fall through one day. They have a dodgy 'handyman' who puts silicone everywhere, bad furniture, bad... more

We spent 6 nites in this hotel in March, 2004. We found it to be quiet, clean and adequate. We stayed in room 124, at the top of the stairs, and though hotel guests were generally very quiet, I would request a room away from the stairs with people coming and going at sometimes early hours. The hotel was quiet - no school groups when we were there, and we didn't encounter any smoke in the lobby or breakfast area. We hate smoke, and were surprised to read complaints about it. The continental breakfast was adequate; the usual rolls, fruit,... more

It's easy to pick out the negatives in any review, so I'll just get them overwith: The lobby was smoky - chokingly thick clouds of tobacco at all hours of the day. The school groups that stayed there were loud and young and smoked a lot. They also tied up the pay phones. The elevator broke down a few times during the stay. The shower didn't have any hot water one morning, but after a twenty minute wait it was fine. The hotel has the peculiar tradition of having you turn in your room key at the front desk when you leave and pick it up... more

We booked this hotel as part of a gotoday package to London. After reading the reviews at Christmastime on this site, we were a bit leery of what we would find! We found our experience to be in the middle of those who have posted earlier. We had room 124 initially, but were told we had to move so they could work on plumbing overhead. 124 (a triple) had a double bed, single bed, and bureau in between. There was a good sized wardrobe, and a decent sized bathroom with tub/shower combo. Size wise, it was a bit larger than we expected, (As a... more
