would like a refund. only stayed 1 night
check in was good. when we got to the room we noticed our bed was very low. just a single mattress and not very comfortable. our friends were in another room and they had a extra mattress on top of what we had in our room. when we talk to the front desk she said they have a newer mattress and that there are no other rooms available. also the bathroom really needs updating. look dirty with the cracks in the tile and walls.

Dear Sushi,It's great to hear that you enjoyed the key location, shopping, and restaurants around your accommodation. It seems like you had a good time exploring the local area.Regarding the information guidelines, it's important for hotels to provide clear instructions on how to use the facilities available to guests, such as the sauna, gym, and bin handling. This can make the stay more comfortable and efficient for guests, and help to avoid any confusion or issues that may arise. It's worth mentioning this to the hotel management, as they may appreciate the feedback and be able to make improvements for future guests.Overall, it's good to hear that you would recommend the accommodation, despite the minor issues with the information guidelines. I hope you had a great stay and enjoyed everything else the area had to offer!Best Regards,Suman RawatResident Manager

Definitely not 4 star hotel. Nice enough if you just want a bed. Pool area was nice. Don't go all inclusive. We all felt Ill when we got home. Breakfast was the only half decent meal. Rest was cold or awful. They had a bone curry with some rock hard inedible pork.

Rooms are spacious and clean, you have everything you need in the room although the hotel is tiring a bit. Cleaners are good but reception are slow and not much use in assisting with anything. Attached bar is a rip off at times. Pool is ok, its ok, can't say more.

Handy place to stay with lots of bars/restaurants locally. Good pool area with lots of sun beds available. Local bars a lot cheaper than the Hangover bar attached to the hotel. Well equipped apartment but street noise affected ours, (above car park & supermarket) pool facing would be better. Some late night noise from returning stag do’s and music noise from same groups around the pool during the day but not annoying enough to bother us.

Probably best to avoid.
I was called the evening before travel to say they'd overbooked the hotel and was told I'd be moved to their sister hotel with a room that was the same as booked. On arrival there was one person working reception and took over 45 minutes to check in. The room was nothing like the room I originally booked and there was also no furniture for use on the balcony. Bearing in mind the current covid situation the hotel was not what I'd class as clean and even less so based on the covid situation. When I went for a walk to see the original hotel I had booked it was shut. So they hadn't overbooked they just moved everyone to one hotel. Overall a very poor experience.

Not 4* more 2* heading to 1*
It is certainly not 4* as advertised. An accurate rating would be 2*. In my room: the bathroom tiles were almost all cracked, the water pressure was non existent and it had an awfully damp smell. It was apparently fully booked and given that I had prepaid in full, I had no choice but to put up with it.

This should be a last choice . As the interiors are not updated and also don't be surprised if the appliances such as AC / refrigerator etc are not working and there is no proactivemess from hotel management to get them repaired. If you are looking for clean blanketss it may disappoint you as they don't seem to be dry washed after a gues checks out. The only positive is that the rooms have good sized balconies providing good views. Summarising if you are a discerning traveller, then I won't recommend this hotel
