This hotel may have been very grand a very long time ago. There's a shabbiness and a sort of faded elegance about the place. I was not comfortable here, To be quite honest the place gave me the creeps and it put me in mind of the Overlook hotel from the movie The Shining. The hotel is very wide, so there was a long, long walk from the elevator to my room; they do not have bellhops available. For a hotel of this size, I would expect a bellhop to help me with my luggage. I was not impressed and I would not stay here again.

I think that this was a 5-star hotel but it didn’t keep up that standard and it becomes an old hotel. As a gold member of Expedia, I would get 20 euro credit for “food and drink” but I was told that breakfast is NOT “food” therefore I could not use 20 euro credit towards a breakfast. Beware the hotel may not honour whatever promised.

Our stay was wonderful due to friendly staff. Our room which was a suite was not . The couch was stained , white curtain behind the desk dirty along with the glass door. The carpet was worn torn in some areas and the shower needs a serious update. The drain in the shower did not drain well with standing water after the shower . Again it was close to main points and the staff was great !
