I would have like to have been informed prior to my booking that the hotel would be housing a large group of male guests during my stay. As a female I felt uncomfortable at times when large groups of young men gathered in the lobby and entrance to the hotel, it was intimidating having to walk through the groups. When I book a holiday I expect to feel safe and relaxed at my hotel, sadly I did not feel this way during my stay.

Stayed in a seaview room with my sister. Staff were welcoming & pleasant on arrival and throughout our stay. Room was clean although dated & beds comfortable. There was a flimsy adjoining door to the next room which we were not advised of on arrival, and it was only secured with a small slide bolt, and light from the room next door was visible all around the door frame nighttime. There was no telephone in the room so no way to contact reception had we needed to. It was obvious that a considerable amount of refugees were staying at the hotel but we found them to be respectful & courteous throughout our stay. It's a pity the hotel didn't offer them facilities such as a lounge with amenities so they didn't have to congregate on benches outside the hotel front during the day & late into the evenings as they probably didn't have monies to spend on recreation. Would we return? Only if we were assured a more modern seaview room with telephone.…

Dear guest. Thank you for sending your feedback We are pleased that you found the rooms clean and the beds comfortable. All of the rooms have adjoining doors,this is so that the rooms can be converted into family rooms when needed. When this is not in use there is a bolt on either side of the door so that it is securely closed. The hotel is open plan and we do not have a lounge with amenities, We have seating area in the reception that is for all our guests. Kind regards Hotel Checkin Garbi

Avoid this hotel at all costs as it was full of young male refugees which we had not been made aware of prior to our trip. I would not recommend this hotel for holiday. There was segregation at the pool and breakfast areas which I thought was disgusting.

When we first walked in there was a dirty handprint on the wall and paint as well on the wall and floor. There was a musty smell in the room and the balcony looks as if it's falling apart. The restaurant was serving chicken for dinner and it was pink like salmon in the middle. The chicken sent one of my friends to the toilet puking because of how raw it was. This hotel is not family friendly due to the constant noise and partying. There are always drunks wandering around and the maids don't clean anything they just put some water and bleach on the floors and then just leave. Came back from the beach to one of the maids in my room even though the do not disturb sign was on.

The good: close to beach, restaurants and shopping. Restaurant areas are updated and clean. The bad: worn down, out dated rooms. One outlet in entire room with four single beds crammed into a tiny room, leaving zero room for suitcase or anything else. Because room prices were cheap the hotel is a big party, noisy. The restaurant staff failed to provide water with dinner a couple of times and then tried to charge us for bottled water. The food was decent and ample. The summary, if you are traveling with only two people and need a place to stay to spend time on the beach consider this. If you are looking to spend time in the hotel to relax, go elsewhere.

Very clean and location is brilliant. Beach literally a 2 minute walk away. Plenty of bars and restaurants on your doorstep. We had half board and would rate the food a 7 out of 10 ( mainly because it's a smaller selection with some of the dishes repeated within a day or 2, plus could be hotter. I did use the microwave to heat mine up) I found my bed quite comfy and the sea view was beautiful. Spoke to a few members of staff and all were lovely. On the downside the rooms are very dated and could benefit from having a fridge in room. All in all I would stay again.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Out of all the holidays I’ve ever been on this one was definitely the WORST! There were ants in our room and the staff failed to do anything about it. Our bed was practically falling apart missing poles ect…. I went to open my cupboard on the first day and the handle just came off, no force was used. Pillows were very hard and the AC just might as-well not be there because it’s absolutely rubbish. The reception is tatty, and the lights look like they are about to fall off the ceiling. Food was ok, it’s essentially the same every night and if you don’t want to spend your entire holiday sat on the toilet, don’t eat the calamari. Overall this hotel was very bad, by all means book this hotel if you’re looking for a cheap place to stay but just be aware that the pictures look nothing like the place. (I have got the right hotel so don’t worry about me writing it on the wrong page).…
