The hotel hall is renovated - and very tacky - and the rooms quite outdated. Bed is really comfy, tho. Some of the staff is friendly - not the long hair receptionist - and the pool is nice, but there’re only 6 chairs and you need to get there early if want to guarantee one. There’s no fresh water and no fridge in the rooms, which obligates you to buy water all the time and try to keep it cool in the small bucket of ice they provide. At least they don’t charge for ice. At least that!!! It would be a 3 stars review - and this place should be a 3 stars hotel, not 4 as they claim - if it wasn’t a major issue: the hotel thought it would be okay to rent all the outside areas to become a filming set with no heads up to the guests. When I first got to the pool this morning, there were staff and support actors all over, with no space for people who were actually paying to be there. After complaining, they freed up the space, but all the other areas were unavailable for guests. Besides that, who works in filming and advertising industry, as I do, know how a set is a huge mess with dozens of people around, cameras, lights, everything someone don’t need to have a relaxing day by the pool. During lunch time they put insanely loud music to relax the staff. Honestly, if I wanted it, would have stayed at a hostel. All of this, I’ll say again, without any notice to the guests, we just woke up and saw ourselves in the middle of a filming set - the last thing I wanted after a whole year working at those sets. It’s absolutely disrespectful with every guest and completely unacceptable that they didn’t even let us know it would happen during our stay. After breakfast next morning, what was bad became worse. My boyfriend arrived the previous night, and after serving the very small breakfast, which is enough for me, he ordered a couple of slices of bread more and they wanted to charge for it. YES, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE FOR 2 SLICES OF INDUSTRIALISED BREAD. I have never seen something like that, not even at the cheapest hostel I’ve stayed when I was backpacking. This place is absolutely outrageous and I would give zero starts if I could. There are plenty of other hotels around, so just find another one and avoid this horrible, disrespectful place. Hampton’s Hilton is right in front, has similar prices and I’m pretty sure is much, much better.…
