Large clean room. Good location. Some staff were very helpful.
The pool shower didn't have body wash products for 2 days and there was a hair clip on the floor for both our visits.. clearly not cleaned! One member of staff was very miserable, not pleasant at breakfast.

The location of the hotel was ideal, close to attractions and the main district. Breakfast buffet was good with a wide selection of food along with individual selection menu. Staff service was inconsistent, however overall good. Rooms were comfortable, clean with the bathrooms quite spacious.
The hotel dining menu is not extensive with the food disappointing given the price required.

Staff were terrific. The hotel has been extensively refurbished and is in good order. Rooms dark, cool and quiet. Location is ideal, everywhere walkable.
Religious books placed in rooms. I’m not interested in the goat herders guide to the galaxy. Or the book of morons.

Poor
We had a large room.
I stayed for 7 nights (6 days). For two days no one came to clean the room, so we stayed with trash in the room, dirty towels, no soap, toilet paper, tea, sugar, water, etc. On the third day, when we returned to the hotel and found that it had not been cleaned, although we wanted to rest, I had to look for a maid. Although there were several maids on the floor, they were talking and laughing, so none came. Only after I went to the reception did a maid arrive. For the cleanliness of the room, the score would be 0. Regarding the breakfast, I cannot say that it was the same every day, because day by day, some of the dishes disappeared and were not replaced. I think some dishes were reused from one day to the next. The opening time in the dining room was constantly delayed, we were told "due to lack of staff".
