Very expensive and very poor.
Pros:

Not a lot!

Cons:

They wanted to charge me extra for my child but I had booked as 2 adults & 1 child aged 7 years. Had to have an argument in the front desk to avoid extra charges, the woman just had a blank ‘don’t give a f*** attitude. tried to cancel our second night a couple of weeks beforehand and they would not allow it. The cafe was strange for informal food/ dining. No prices on menus, you had to ask per item and the chiller food display smelt very very bad. Dingy outdated room, hard mattress, useless hairdryer. Very expensive for a very poor stay. We should have gone back to the lovely Cresta Lodge.

It was pleasant, but the bathroom towels were horrible.
Pros:

The facility and staff were fabulous.

Cons:

I’ve stayed in countless hotels across different countries both 5-star and 3-star and I can honestly say I’ve never encountered towels as poor as the ones in both rooms. They were visibly dirty and very old, which is completely unacceptable for a hotel like Rainbow Towers.

Everything else about the stay was fine, but the condition of the bathroom towels was a major letdown and frankly left a bad impression.

An excellent hotel will be staying there again on my return trip
Pros:

Excellent property. Clean didn’t use facilities as arrived late and left early. Very welcoming. Excellent food.
