Guests say
Overall, guests had mixed feelings about their stays. Many criticized the service, mentioning unfriendly staff and poor handling of bookings, especially for guests of certain nationalities. While the cleanliness of the hotel received positive remarks and a variety of breakfast options were appreciated, there were significant concerns regarding value for money and the noisy atmosphere caused by nearby construction and loud music at the pool.

Cons (-) The only "quirk" was that the elevators were not air conditioned. But they were fast, so we didn't have to be in them very long!
