Receptionists miserable, waiters very nice and helpful. A10 Studios NOT recommended, smelly, windows do not close, blankets awful, cooker not clean, would not want to cook on it and at the bottom of it, the mice would love it. Our towels were not changed until we left them on the floor in the bathroom, and our sheets were not changed... more

Arrived at the hotel about 11am,was met by a frowning receptionist who told me they did not have a booking for us !

The swimming pool like the rooms are obviously 25 years old, with fungie in the pool with no heating or... more

We stayed in a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment to the very rear of the hotel on the hill. The apartment itself was 70's retro, but comfortable and one of the most spacious apartments i have ever stayed in. We had a sea view balcony with all morning sun until around 2pm. When we arrived on in our apartment I... more
