Hotel Best Semiramis

Had to remain in our room for nearly 2 days after getting food poisoning from an evening meal. Unsurprising given how dirty the “clean” plates and drinking glasses were. Food options for allergies were very limited, nothing advised to be gluten free. Our first day was very much ‘check in and go’, no information given to us about specific details (I.e bar locations) just a sheet of paper with generic info about things on each floor. The room had silverfish including one in the bed, clean bedding often had dirt remaining. With the main road being directly outside our room, sleeping through the early morning was very difficult as traffic increased, lower floors suffer even more so. The hotel describes itself as five-star however as you go beyond the lobby it’s very apparent how tired the hotel is and how dated many utilities are. The carpets are old, the TV didn’t work, the balcony floor was dirty.

Really like the location and the room is very big and the beds are massive. There are signs of aging around the property. The staff are excellent

Nice hotel

Only stayed for one night due to our flight being cancelled but what an excellent hotel this is. Easy check in greeted with a Prosecco, reception staff welcoming friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable and wow what a view. Was booked in for breakfast and lots of choice and the food was fresh warm and tasty. Cannot really fault this hotel.

A very nice 4* hotel; I’m aware that hotels are designated their stars on the basis of facilities. This hotel is advertised as 5* but in my opinion it is much more inline with what’s expected of 4*. Positives - staff are very friendly, the ocean view from the room was magnificent. Negatives - the coffee at breakfast is truly disgusting, the beds are very hard, the hotel has a very 80’s vibe and decor - think dark wood laminate, foamy ceiling tiles, one buffet restaurant (no ala carte), dismal worn out gym, very small pool. The hotel is pretty much exactly 1 mile from centre of town; great little walk down but a very steep, uphill walk back.

Wonderful hotel with lots of amenities. Great value. Food is top notch and lots of variety. Stayed here five times now. Would definitely come back again.

We enjoyed our stay

We had a wonderful stay here. Lovely spacious room with balcony, amazing views from the glass lined dining room. I enjoyed the pool every day although the water is bracing in February! Charming staff from the cheerful dining room manager to our room cleaner, to the receptionist who sent a cup of tea down to my wife when she felt unwell. Highly recommend!

Everything.

It was good
