The hotel was a very good surprise. We had an apartment and a double room, both of which were very clean and spacious. We also tried the breakfast which was excellent and full of choices. Just one small observation for the staff: a few more smiles make the clients feel better ;)

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was clean, however when we arrived we did not have enough towels in the room including no hand towels or bath mat. We also did not have any cups in the room. The smart TV doesn't work. The room wasn't cleaned during our stay. Towels were left in the room in the late afternoon, but the dirty cups were not replaced, nor was the rubbish removed during a 2 night stay. However, the main reason I wouldn't recommend this hotel is due to my experience with the staff. They actually went out of their way to be unhelpful. I encountered Lena at the front desk multiple times, each time she did nothing to cooperate or help. I broke my phone on the last day and could not access my boarding pass and was in disbelief as the lack of help from them.

Great Stop, Fab AC, Spacious Rooms!

I was so grateful to the staff for letting us check in so late due to a wildfire and the airport delaying our flight. He kept in touch over WhatsApp. The rooms are huge for Europe! We were very comfortable. AC in July was super cold! Great place if you’re just sight seeing for a few days and not in the room too much and in need of a pool etc. thank you Hotel Ligo!

The hotel limits the air conditioning to 7 degrees cooler than outside. It was 95 degrees outside. My room was 87 degrees. No fans. I could not sleep. It was so hot I nearly passed out. Front desk just said they were very very sorry. Never stay on a hot day.
