Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quiet, which was nice, but the delay in cleaning after lunch was frustrating when traveling with a child. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the Mediterranean buffet breakfast was a highlight.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a strong cigarette smell, but having a balcony made a big difference despite their tired appearance. The service was top-notch with very polite and friendly staff, especially Kleopatra at breakfast. The location was much closer to the center than expected but suffered from noise issues. The dining options were average, with repetitive offerings, and some items were not served at the right temperature. The facilities of the hotel were satisfactory.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with comfortable beds and aircon. The bathrooms were a bit of an issue due to the cigarette smell, which was not ideal for a relaxing holiday. The service was overall friendly and helpful, especially the lady at the reception. The location was perfect, just steps away from the city center, old town, and the beach. The dining experience had good variety but also felt repetitive. The hotel provided an array of facilities to enhance the stay.
