Stunning view and facilities

Absolutely beautiful room on the 6th floor with a stunning room and balcony. Loved the fresco above the bed and the tiles in the bathroom. Was so nice. Only downside is we had to do 2 trips in the lift with our luggage as the lift is tiny.

Poor stay

Our shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. We reported it to the reception and they said they would look at it. They didn’t. Every time we had a shower it was a falls risk. There was dust on skirting boards. One of the receptionists was playing video games and seemed more interested in that.

Having specifically booked a sea view room, we were given a tree view room with a glimpse of the sea (partial sea view rooms were available when booking but I chose the full sea view). Hotel said they were sorry but couldn’t accommodate our sea view booking as they were fully booked. Amenities in room: shower flooded bathroom floor every time, bedside lamp was broken (reported when immediately but not fixed during 5 night stay). Staff were very pleasant and professional however. Overall disappointing that we didn’t receive the room we booked.
