Mixed Stay with Service Discrepancies

restaurant availability unprofessional staff

The hotel's location proved convenient for accessing local attractions.

My dining experience presented a significant issue. I attempted to make a dinner reservation but was informed all slots were fully booked. upon passing by the restaurant later in the evening, I observed many vacant tables. This discrepancy was disappointing.. I found the staff to be less than professional in their interactions.

an okay stay at the hotel

helpful staff spacious room cracked walls extra charges

the staff were helpful, it is true. the hotel has a nice design and the room i stayed in felt spacious to me. the spa treatments was a delight, i give it a 10/10.

the room we had wasnt up to par. there was cracks in the walls, and the whitewash was peeling off, i noticed. at checkout, i saw almost €200 worth of services i never ordered and it had been added to my bill.
