Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed: several guests note daily housekeeping and generally clean rooms, but there are serious cleanliness concerns reported (musty smell, cockroaches in wardrobe) that lower this score.
Service
9.2
Generally positive: multiple comments praise friendly, helpful staff (explicit thanks to Anastasia, staff described as very kind and attentive), though some operational issues (elevator) are noted separately.
Location
9.5
Very positive: many reviews highlight an excellent, central location with easy access to transport, restaurants, waterfront and good views from balconies.
Room Quality
5.8
Below average: guests mention small/weak showers, hot rooms (especially upper floors), outdated decor in places, confusing layout/corridors and occasional poor balcony views for some rooms.
Amenities
6.2
Mixed to weak: frequent complaints about missing in-room fridge, unreliable Wi‑Fi, problematic air conditioning and elevator behavior; some rooms/balconies and modern touches are appreciated.
Value for Money
6
Mixed: some guests felt the price was fair (including paying for breakfast), while others felt significantly overcharged and unhappy with refunds and pricing vs. experience.
Food and Beverage
6.7
Mixed: breakfast receives repeated mild criticism (limited choice, flies, lack of authenticity) though a number of guests found breakfast worth it or acceptable.
Overall Experience
9
Overall skewed positive due to standout location and consistently praised staff; however, notable negatives (cleanliness incidents, room/amenity problems, noise and elevator issues) temper some stays. The aggregate of frequent positive mentions on location/service yields a strong overall score.

GRACIAS ANASTASIA POR HACERNOS FELIZ
Pros:

Queremos dar las gracias a todo el personal del hotel, especialmente a Anastasia, una magnífica persona que hizo que nuestras vacaciones sean fantásticas.

Nunca olvidaremos el trato y atención recibido por ella y su compañero de recepción que en todo momento se ocuparon de que nuestra estancia sea maravillosa.

El hotel está muy bien situado, enfrente de la bahía. Desde la cama de la habitación contemplamos los amaneceres y el balcón con vistas al mar, una auténtica maravilla.

Todo muy limpio, la cama grande y muy cómoda. Habitación amplia. La recepción abierta 24 horas. Parada de bus a 30 metros. Todo perfecto. Le pongo un 10. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Muchas gracias Anastasia por hacernos felices. DIOS TE BENDIGA.

Cons:

Lo único que no me gustó es que no había canales en español. No había forma de configurar la tele en español. Lo intentamos varias veces pero nada de nada. No había televisión por Internet.

Pros:

Nichts!!!

Cons:

Absolut überteuert und das Zimmer war eine reine Zumutung! Unsauber und in die Jahre gekommen ist koch untertrieben!

Teilweise gab es dann noch dreckige oder total zerfetzte Handtücher und ein Badezimmer da fehlen einem die Worte so schlimm !

Każdego dnia widok na zatokę świętego Juliana
Pros:

Koniecznie trzeba wybrać pokój z balkonem, z którego widok jest największym atutem tego hotelu. Hotel posiada świetne naszym zdaniem położenie, dobre brytyjskie śniadania oraz charakteryzuje się czystością i miłym personelem. Przy hotelu znajduje się kilkukilometrowa promenada dogodna dla turystów i biegaczy.

Cons:

Hotel z rozwiązaniami technicznymi z przed wielu lat, lecz nam to nie przeszkadzało.

Pros:

Great location
Big room
Lovely views

Cons:

The staff not very knowledgeable.
As a hotel you are in tourism and should at least know your hotel and local area.
We found the people at the restaurant more knowledgeable.
We missed 2 uber pick-ups because your staff told us the wrong road to stand.
