Over priced rip off.
Pros:

The room cleaners were very nice.

Cons:

This was a reminder not to believe the photographs - the location is right on a very busy road - not at all the calm promised by the photos - the cost of the room is far from commensurate to the quality- the room is tiny (!) the light switches don't work properly- the glass on the bedside tables slides around almost slipped off and smashed - the bedside lights don't work - the light switches are some job lot someone was scammed into buying they don't work they have dimmers built in that don't function correctly - there was mold around the inside of the window- (that didn't open) they put us in a room directly opposite a service cupboard that I specifically requested not to have a room by access doors, service cupboards etc. - they changed it but with no apologies at all just a dead face - the vibe from most of the staff is not 4 star here - ( I will edit this as I had a great experience with the indian(?) sorry don't know her name - woman at reception - she was super professional ) otherwise it feels like a towny seasonal workers at a b&b - if we were paying 100 a night you'd expect it - not 450 a night - the Wi-Fi flat out doesn't work! (I am writing this in notes now so I can post this when I leave!!) heading to a massage in a moment - we will see ....later the WiFi finally worked after many attempts and trips to the front desk and help from the afore mentioned woman - but was still weak - spa huge disappointment - massage was decent but hotel guests have to pay an additional £70 to use spa facilities !?!?finally the FOOD. Yuk the worst meal I've had in years - for 156£ - listen I travel widely live in nyc and Mallorca and I can adjust to local cuisines - the mushroom parfait looked like an elephant did his business on my plate - rubbery fish - 16£ for one overcooked scallop - the wine was good but over priced - shall I go on ?

Pros:

Cons:

İtems were missing in the room for example slipper or towels. I was expecting more as it is too expensive.
