I would rate this hotel as a 2 and a half-star property. Facilities and guest amenities are definitely not 4-star. Not good value for money at €270 a night. Staff members are courteous and helpful. The breakfast buffet is good, plenty to choose from. But the breakfast room is utilitarian.

Not impressed considering the price paid
Hallway leading to our room was very dark. Bathroom shower doors had a huge gap 1/2 inch in the door causing the floor to flood. Bathtub would not drain properly. Not the cleanest bathroom. Charged for items in the minibar which we did not use. Some staff not helpful and had absolutely no personality.

The room was spacious and very clean. Hallway and other areas of hotel have a worn feel. Rooftop pool was small with a great view. The area around hotel felt uneasy, especially at night.

Only one electricity outlet (and even that was not close to the bed!, and it only worked with European plugs, i.e., not useful for North Americans). the staff were not warm and welcoming (they weren't rude or anything; but I had expected a more chatty staff who would ask us about our day or talk to us about things happening). The room was very dark, the window was very small and it looked over no where! overall, NOT at all what we expected for the cost we were paying.
