Hotel Best Semiramis

Had to remain in our room for nearly 2 days after getting food poisoning from an evening meal. Unsurprising given how dirty the “clean” plates and drinking glasses were. Food options for allergies were very limited, nothing advised to be gluten free. Our first day was very much ‘check in and go’, no information given to us about specific details (I.e bar locations) just a sheet of paper with generic info about things on each floor. The room had silverfish including one in the bed, clean bedding often had dirt remaining. With the main road being directly outside our room, sleeping through the early morning was very difficult as traffic increased, lower floors suffer even more so. The hotel describes itself as five-star however as you go beyond the lobby it’s very apparent how tired the hotel is and how dated many utilities are. The carpets are old, the TV didn’t work, the balcony floor was dirty.

Really like the location and the room is very big and the beds are massive. There are signs of aging around the property. The staff are excellent

Nice hotel

Only stayed for one night due to our flight being cancelled but what an excellent hotel this is. Easy check in greeted with a Prosecco, reception staff welcoming friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable and wow what a view. Was booked in for breakfast and lots of choice and the food was fresh warm and tasty. Cannot really fault this hotel.

A very nice 4* hotel; I’m aware that hotels are designated their stars on the basis of facilities. This hotel is advertised as 5* but in my opinion it is much more inline with what’s expected of 4*. Positives - staff are very friendly, the ocean view from the room was magnificent. Negatives - the coffee at breakfast is truly disgusting, the beds are very hard, the hotel has a very 80’s vibe and decor - think dark wood laminate, foamy ceiling tiles, one buffet restaurant (no ala carte), dismal worn out gym, very small pool.

The hotel is pretty much exactly 1 mile from centre of town; great little walk down but a very steep, uphill walk back.

Wonderful hotel with lots of amenities. Great value. Food is top notch and lots of variety. Stayed here five times now. Would definitely come back again.

We enjoyed our stay

We had a wonderful stay here. Lovely spacious room with balcony, amazing views from the glass lined dining room. I enjoyed the pool every day although the water is bracing in February! Charming staff from the cheerful dining room manager to our room cleaner, to the receptionist who sent a cup of tea down to my wife when she felt unwell. Highly recommend!

Everything.

It was good

Location

Good overall.

Check in was awful. Two ladies at the desk, both on phones taking calls however struggled to get guests checked in. The hotel is dated, and while the areas were clean, there was a musty odor in the hallways and in the room. Hotel breakfast was average at best. Besides the check in experience, staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel location is decent, views from room was fantastic.

The hotel was in a good location , the reception area and bar was nice . The thermal pool had maintenance issues so was not warm throughout the 4days we were there. The rooms were dated and need a makeover. The buffet food was very average at the best . I would say this hotel is no more than a 3.5 star

Had a great time, rooms were great with fantastic sea views. Staff were friendly and the food, swimming etc were good. The only feedback I'd provide is the room keys, we had to go to reception daily, to get them unlocked and, no, they weren't near mobile phones.

We liked everything about the hotel with the exception that the hotel controls the Air conditioner so they turned off when I asked why because it was really hot in the room they said around this time of year they do that and we went in November so we had to sleep with balcony door opened. Other than that it’s a nice place.

Todo excelente.una de estancia maravillosa.

Great hotel built into the cliff overlooking the sea. Travelled in Nov. Weather was 33 degrees. Was told air con switched off due to being winter so was a little warm in the room. Other than that, the hotel was great

Stayed there 9 nights in Oct24 as a couple, half board. Great location, walkable to centre and few minutes from local restaurants.
Parking is very limited and expensive if booked with the hotel at €10/night. Possible to find free parking spaces within 5-10min walk.
Food - very subpar, 2/5 stars. Buffet style with similar food all the time - salad, pre-cooked pasta and choice of your own wok combinations. At dinner you have to pay for all drinks - not even tap water is provided for free.
Chef needs to go on training - all food severely overcooked (think rubber tuna and sole-like steak). Not tasty at all - so many places around offer much tastier options - regretted to go half-board. Breakfast ok but same everyday. Edible, but not enjoyable. Poor selection and quality of deserts.
Facilities - bedroom spacious, comfy bed with many pillows and great housekeeping. Windows could have been upgraded to double glazed - due to location every night you can hear loud noises from the ocean waves and wind - had to sleep with earplugs. Hallways look like from horror movies - tasteless and dated.
Outside pools - nice and clean, jacuzzi ice cold though and couldn’t make use of it.
Spa area - for additional charge of €15/person you can use “spa” facilities- we tried but instantly regretted and would not bother - dirty grouts and mouldy ceilings, inside hot tub smell like toilet drain, disgusting steam room and hot beds make loud pop noise that prevents any hint of relaxation. Average

Beautiful location & friendly and helpful staff
