The hotel was alright, but the reality didn’t quite match up with our expectations. For a start, we went with some friends on holiday, but we hadn’t realised how geared towards business trips it was from the hotel listing.
The service was, as others have noted, pretty strange. The receptionists were friendly enough. But when we went to the bar, the two bar staff got our orders wrong (multiple times) and serving us seemed more like an inconvenience than anything else.
We also went to the gym one of the days, and there seemed to be a woman working there who got annoyed every time we moved anything (like moving a bench out of the way of other equipment so we could use it). I still wasn’t clear if she did work there or not, she didn’t speak to us at all, but very much felt like we were again being an inconvenience.
As for the rooms, they could do with a fair amount of maintenance. For example, the floor was scuffed from where the main door was scraping it. The curtains were falling down at the side. And most importantly the shower only had “scalding hot” as a setting. There were also controls on the shower that implied you could turn on different heads, but these just didn’t work.
Finally, the only time we went to use the pool and the hot tub on the roof, the hot tub was out of commission and the pool was freezing cold (I’m assuming it was also out of order but there was no signage).
Overall, pretty disappointing experience. The location was decent but I wouldn’t stay here again.
