Fairly disappointed, looked great on pictures.

Need an upgrade or maybe some proper maintenance. Couldn't make the breakfast and they didn't want to refund me although I pad extra for it through Hotels.com - anyway, not much, but leaves a bad taste. Won't visit again.

Decent Hotel, good Service and amazing view.

It is a decent hotel, with good service and staff. Door locking was a challenge but the staff was super helpful. The view from the room and restaurant was amazing. Pool was nice and clean as well also with amazing view.

This hotel has amazing views. The rooms are nice and bright but the decor and furniture needs updating, it all felt a lityle grubby. The shower room is in dire need of updating. Bedding clean and beds compfy. Restaurant really nice.

Not Good

The stay started off with battling to get into the room. The door had to be lifted up and pulled backwards in a certain way in order for the key to work. Then once inside, we couldn't lock the door as the "knob" wasnt working. There where another problems: The cabinet in the Bathroom was warped and broken. The trapdoor in the ceiling was wide open. The pillow slips where dirty. The paint was coming of the walls. There was mould in the shower. No, it was no a pleasant stay at all.

Nice central position and nice view, staff were friendly, the building is showing age but was comfortable, the food we had was terrible, I don't think they have enough turnover to keep it fresh.

Needs TLC

The hotel desperately needs some TLC, and seems to have been neglected. While the rooms are clean, they are old & falling apart. The staff are incredibly friendly & very willing to help - however the owners have let the establishment deteriorate. Please note I would give the staff service an excellence rating.

4/10 Fair

A recepção do hotel é muito ruim, difícil de passar com malas. O acesso aos quartos e por escada, então se não houver alguém para te ajudar com as malas fica muito complicado. O quarto é apenas ok, parecia bem limpo, mas não tinha secador por exemplo e as instalações pareciam estar bem velhas. Ok para uma noite apenas, mas não voltaria para uma estadia maior.

Not very clean

I wouldn't stay at this hotel again. The bathroom ceiling had mold, the shower tiles were not clean. The "double" bed was actually two single beds pushed together, with the dreaded crack between making it uncomfortable. It is a lower-priced hotel in a high-end area. You get what you pay for.
