Grim memories of a grime ridden stay
Pros:

A pool / terrace

Cons:

Poor value for money. One of the most expensive hotels on my trip, allegedly highest rated but at best it was tired and truthfully grubby. The bathroom had mold, the manky shower curtain had holes in and didn’t contain the water into the shower area, making the bathroom a slip zone. Speaking of which, the rug in the room was curled up, and would. Not lie flat, making a trip hazard. The windows and windowsill were filthy, there was no safe in the room. Staff used corded phones to contact one another and you can expect to be woken at any time of night by the very loud ringing. Staff were indifferent, at best. Breakfast was a disappointment with selection and even room service menu was limited, due to ‘LPG shortages’, which has not affected anywhere else I stayed! The front facade and lobby look like the only areas updated in 50 years. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
