Poor apartment broken tv leak from ceiling in kitchen that went on to the electric cooker I reported it and a person came but did not fix it. Tv was replaced with another with only 2 channels. Overall it is dated and needs a massive refurbishment.

Good but hard to judge accuratly
judging the service isn't easy because o all the covid stuff but because the hotel was shutting down a lot f services weren't done as well as they could because they were laying off staff and basically shutting down areas of the hotel. All in all under normal circumstances I think this hotel would be really good to stay at and I think I would probably recommend it but I wouldn't rate my experience here as highly as i did their sister hotel the San Anton

It's a pretty basic hotel, really looks like it's still the 1980's and in need of a facelift, but the staff are good and the cleanliness & servicing of the room was excellent.

It was dirty, outdated, and just disappointing. Very unhygienic, and the food was unappetising and the restaurant was filthy and unsuitable to eat in. There was rotten food in the luggage room, and the lighting was very bad - it was difficult to get across the courtyard to the room because there were no lights. The swimming pool was dirty, and the facilities looked very outdated. The lift was small and could barely fit 3 people. The actual room was very disappointing, there were stains on the bedsheets and the bath had hair and dirt in it. The windows and doors didn’t lock properly and we felt unsafe in our room. Overall, a very disappointing hotel.
