The location of the hotel is simply stunning - we were left a little disappointed with the overall service.. we asked for hand soap to be replaced and it took 2 days. We asked if we could take our breakfast up to the balcony one day and whilst being told it was ok - the breakfast team were not fully aware and we were stopped. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but the service could have been a little better. The hotel is getting on a little bit too - very old lift.

We enjoyed our stay at hotel Desiree. However the balcony floor and table had not been cleaned (and where not during our 4 day stay) and we missed having wine glasses on our room. The minibar was not filled and we missed being able to order at the pool without having to go inside. The breakfast had what we needed and the beds, although they where quite hard, where nice. One thing we absolutely did not like was that the staff cleaning the rooms put our things away in drawers (different places every day), moved my skin care products, closed my toilet bag etc. But overall, a nice stay that we enjoyed. All things to fix are small and very manageble. We would come back!

Perfect location, staff were great, along with the breakfast! However it could do with a fridge in the room especially when its 35 degree heat and I was also unaware of the 70 euro parking fee plus 15 tax. Apart from that it was lovely.
