They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and it’s true for this hotel, but not how you would expect. First impressions were good. You approach through a lovely courtyard and into reception, where the greeting was warm and inviting. It was refreshing to be greeted by local people for a change. We were shown most of the way to our room, but from here on in, things went downhill a bit. Our room (84) was stiflingly hot with no air con and the windows were shut. A fan had been provided but due to the heat, it only blew hot air around. There were no net curtains in the window, so although we weren’t overlooked, it felt a bit exposed. The window was filthy. There was no ventilation in the bathroom and the mirrors weren’t heated so after a shower or bath, you had to clean the mirror before use. The bath wasn’t as clean as it should be, there being hair in the drain. During the night we were disturbed by music from the night club across the street, which was a little surprising as it looked empty every time I looked out the window. We had fish and chips in the hotel in the evening which was quite mediocre, but breakfast (buffet) was better. I wouldn’t say I had any complaints, as such but the room certainly needs some TLC.
