I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the views from the bar and dining areas were stunning, and the staff in the restaurant were very pleasant. However, the room I initially had was disappointing due to a poor view and the overall maintenance of the hotel left much to be desired. The dining experience was lackluster, with limited variety in breakfast offerings, which could definitely use some improvement.

Rooms

The first room I was given was shabby and had a blocked view due to a terrace wall. After moving to a different room, it was definitely better, but still, the cleanliness and maintenance are areas that need attention.
Service
6.0
While some staff were friendly and helpful, especially one lady who helped with the room change, overall, the level of service was inconsistent, and some staff seemed overwhelmed during peak times.

The hotel's location is decent, but the surrounding areas could use some care. It's a bit far from transportation options and not very convenient to reach on foot if you're carrying luggage.

The breakfast was okay but lacked variety, and the restaurant food was generally disappointing. I expected better quality for a hotel in this category.

The pool area looked inviting, but I didn't utilize it after seeing it was not properly manned. The facilities overall seem to lack proper maintenance.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the spacious room we were eventually moved to, the initial room was not up to standard and the dining options left much to be desired. It's a decent place overall, but it's clear that improvements are needed in terms of maintenance and dining variety.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the bright side, I appreciated the spaciousness of the rooms and the fantastic breakfast options, which were both varied and delicious. However, the service left much to be desired, with some unfriendly staff members and long wait times at the bar. Also, the indoor pool facilities, while okay, could use some maintenance. Overall, it had its moments but wasn't the relaxing spa getaway I hoped for.

The hotel has a lot of potential with its large and spacious rooms and a fantastic indoor pool, perfect for relaxation. However, the upkeep of the property leaves much to be desired, with cleanliness issues and outdated facilities. I was particularly disappointed in the dining experience as the breakfast lacked variety. Overall, it's a mixed bag in terms of value for money.

Rooms

5.8/10

The hotel has some redeeming qualities, like the friendly staff and spacious rooms. However, it is undermined by its poor upkeep and inadequate dining options. The overall cleanliness leaves much to be desired, and the amenities feel outdated. For a supposed 4-star hotel, it certainly doesn't meet the expectation, and I would advise considering other options.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms feel spacious but are marred by outdated decor and maintenance issues. Our experience included old carpets and worn-out beds, which were disappointing for a supposed luxury accommodation.
Service
6.0
The service was rather lackluster, with staff seeming indifferent to our concerns about the room and amenities. While there were good moments, overall it felt like they needed better management and training.
Location
7.0
The location is decent and fairly close to local attractions, but the trek up the hill can be tiring, especially with luggage. It doesn't completely make up for the hotel's shortcomings.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was particularly disappointing. The breakfast options were repetitive and lacked variety, and other meals didn't meet my expectations either.
Facilities
5.0
Facilities like the spa area were not inviting, and overall, the hotel felt poorly maintained. I would have expected much higher standards for a hotel of this rating.
