6.0

Staff were very inattentive, especially in the restaurant, had to ask for everything more than once and they weren’t proactive at all. Especially at breakfast, often the buffet was empty and had to ask for more items to be bought out, also had to ask for coffee multiple times

9.0

Stunning location

Staff members were not very on the ball, stood waiting for 15 minutes to be seated while staff stood chatting and not paying attention. When we were seated we had 4 different members of staff ask us the same question, they were very disorganised

"Great location that was peaceful and quiet at night but overpriced given the total package."

7.0

Friendly waiting staff. Lovely and quiet on the nights we stayed. Loved that you could open the window and were not 'locked in' with air con! Lovely and dark too - curtains shielded any outside light well so we were able to sleep well. Was a great location for our needs.

Food was mediocre and not in keeping with the hotel's promoted image. We ate Breakfast and an early evening tapas and expected better given the price charged. Our initial encounter with an older receptionsist on arrival was not very welcoming (but a different younger member of staff on reception on a different day was very helpful). Cobwebs evident on the ceiling above the bed and near the tv. Very cheap toilet roll! Shower leaked.
