"Very dissapointing and overpriced."

5.0

The view from the bar and location were great.

The rooms were extremely small , and for almost 400 pound it gave basic ammenities, only soap and shampoo, no body lotion, no shower cap no extea treats that you'd expect for 5 star.The lift was barely working, with a warning to avoid if possible, no offer of help with bags, very poor service. Breakfast was horrid, like a cafeteria everyone squashed in, no room between tables , with barely editable food and super noisey. Eggs were like rubber, hash browns hard as wood, coffee undrinkable and dont ask about the bacon , I paid for a buffet and had half a slice if toast, a small yogurt pot and a glass of water.

"Not a palace BTW. But nice location."

8.0

Location was great. There was a giant breakfast buffet’s. Yes several tables full of food selections.

The room was hot! And humid. But I think we were just over the pool. We didn’t know how to open the window. And do our first night was so uncomfortable and stuffy. Luckily another guest told us about opening the window.

"Viel zu teuer für ein sehr kleines und lautes Zimmer."

7.0

Sehr kleines Bett. Beim umdrehen lag man an der Wand.

Man konnte die Fenster nicht öffnen. Für den Preis eine absolute Abstellkammer. Man musste den Nachbarn beim TV schauen zuhören. Das Personal hat meistens nicht reagiert, wenn man es gegrüßt hat.

"Very enjoyable except for the heat in the room which kept us awake at night."

Very accommodating staff.

The room was far too warm with no way of adjusting heating apart from a free standing fan.
