La chambre pourrait être plus spacieuse avec des meubles moins imposants Environnement très bruyant Éviter les chambres au 5eme car elles se situent sous le restaurant et les préparatifs de la salle débutent à 7h du matin avec des chaises déplacées dans tous les sens La piscine est certes ouverte de 7h à 23h de mémoire, mais si vous prenez une chambre standard elle est à 30€ à partir de 17h !!

Location was okay a bit far from everything. In general hotel was good, breakfast was okay. I was very disappointed with the gym it's not even a gym, weights were wrapped with celotape making it very unsafe. Swimming pool was great size but the shock surprise I was only allowed to use it till 5pm and after that 100$ charge. I will complain regards to this matter as this ruined my stay and was not stated anywhere in my booking. In general hotel was good and is okay to stay in.

Cons: - first night: water was dripping from the roof and had to be shifted to another room. - called for an iron on second day, didn’t recieve so we left without ironing. Called for an iron on third day and request was ignored until we rang the 3rd time absoloutley fuming. - beds are hard and uncomfortable Pillows and throws were dirty with makeup stain on it from previous guests. - mouldy dirty bathroom - aircon didn’t work properly - front desk staff tried to offer us a transfer back to the airport at a much higher price but we had already booked a taxi back for a cheaper price. - for a 4 star hotel i would expect staff to atleast help us carry our luggage to the taxi - this did not happen. Wouldn’t stay here again Pros: the views from our room
