9.2/10 Wonderful! (95 reviews)
Worst room design in a hotel
Where do I begin. I gave this hotel 2 stars instead of 1 because the reception staff was very nice and the restaurant was decent. But whomever designed the rooms should never work again as a designer. Here’s a list of the problems with our room:
1: it was listed as a junior suite. It was definitely not a suite. There was one chair next to the bed and a couple chairs under the desk. That does not make a junior suite.
2. It was trying to be ultra modern but ended up being very impractical. Lighting was terrible.
3. There was this down HUGE tub (see photo) that was very impractical that I’m sure no one uses because most people just stay here for one night to go to the Valley of the Temples nearby. Why do you need a bathtub big enough for four people in a room for two? Because the shower was located right tub the shower very difficult to use and made the entire bathroom wet when we tried to use it. Because the bathtub took up so much room in the bathroom there was very little space for anything else.
4. The sink was large but only enough for one person at a time and had very little space around it plus no shelving at all for toiletries. Very, very impractical. A smaller sink with shell space would have made much more sense.
5. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have been in. It was hard like a rock and we were not the only ones who had that experience since our family members said the same thing.
6. Buffet breakfast was meh.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (834 reviews)
Fabulous location but very expensive for the experience and the food is over priced for its quality and example being salad nicoise ( with no egg )at €32 and €12 euro cover charge ( when it came the anchovies had been forgotten by the chef - how can that happen ! ) Some staff are extremely good and helpful , others a little disengaged !
