Perfect location to be just outside of Old Town

We had a sea view room and it was lovely the view was the highlight, the room was comfortable enough what you’d expect for a 3 star hotel. Breakfast was a good selection of hot and cold bits plenty of everything to go around. It seemed more locals stay in this hotel as we didn’t encounter any other English tourists. It’s a short walk from the escalators going down to the old town strip so you’re just outside of all the partying. Staff were helpful we had to checkout at 2.30am for our flight and they provided us breakfast to take with us. The only suprise was the pool is actually across the road from the hotel, we didn’t even visit it as it was chilly and it’s not a heated pool. We weren’t informed about it and had to ask but likely as it was only 18-20 degrees during our stay!

Disappointed overall

Arrived to a room which balcony wouldn't lock waited over an hour with very little care and was given another room with the same issue and it smelt really bad. Third room all was ok but we were 2hrs later wanting dinner. Came back and asked for a bottle opener and was told no its at the other hotel i siad the least you can do is send someone up to us with a bottle opener. Person arrived with bottle opener and refused to open our 3 bottles of wine, he opened 2 and went. We bought one the next day. Breakfast at the beach hotel was awful very poor selection and not much of anything staff also rude to us. We went to main hotel for breakfast after 3 days of no improvement. We were apoken to awfully when we asked for a towel as our shower leaked and told no along with a lot of shouting in foreign. Thia is my 3rd time here and by far the worst like staff didn't want english/iriah there. Reception desk had a flyer to welcome you on laws and fines for touriats being drunk, loud etc yet we were kept up by 50+ locals staying at the hotel until 12pm shouting and cheering.
