This is a very, very old hotel and, in my opinion, it urgently needs a complete renovation. Upon arrival, I encountered several problems in my room. The safe was not working, the air conditioning was out of order for two consecutive days, and there was a problem with the window, which could not be opened or closed properly. The bathroom sink also had issues. In other words, I experienced problems in my room for two consecutive days, which is completely unacceptable for a hotel of this level. The property is clearly very outdated and urgently needs a major renovation. In its current condition, I would personally rate it as no more than a two-star hotel. I sincerely hope that management will take these comments seriously and consider a complete modernization of the property.

The pool, gym, and full 6th floor were closed during our stay with no pre warning. The only compensation offered was a massage which given the amount we paid for 4 nights I was not very pleased. The rooms were also tiny. However, the staff and breakfast were great.
