2/10 Poor

You should discoun a room or price of laundry when a guest has a legitimate complaint like a blasting disco beat until 11 30 at night.

Comfortable hotel, looks a little tired on the outside but selected rooms updated and a great pool

Nice but ... no thanks
While this hotel is nice enough, the reality is that its 1.7km from the nearest eateries/shopping, and the facilities it offers in-house are sadly lacking. We went to breakfast at 9.30am on our first morning and there was hardly anything left. We blamed ourselves for being late, so went at 8.30am the following morning - same situation! The food was not replenished at all, however the serving spoons and their dishes were, even though the Bain Maries were empty! The pool is great but you are hard pushed to get any service at all. Cold drinks must be purchased from the upstairs cafe, which has limited opening hours. The staff were great, there is a money exchange facility (typically awful rate) however no tourist information available at all. I believe we were lucky to jag a renovated room on the 8th floor, but I wouldn't recommend the hotel, nor would I stay there again.
