It was a disappointment upon check in, the room was cold, squeeky floors, the air conditioning wasn't working, the unattractive room wasn't really worth for the $330 including breakfast per night. We wanted out but won't be refunded. They offered another room, worst, air con was blowing cold air and small. Both rooms were clean, redeeming qualities. We took room 1 and they gave us an oil heater. I complained the following morning due to lack of sleep and managed to change to another room, far better. They should have changed it to a better room upon check in. The morning staff was better with their customer service and upon check out has offered us a free coffee.

It was conveniently located, bed was comfy, the hotel has all you need. The staff are mostly incredibley friendly and helpful. Only bad thing was When I checked in at 9:30 pm, the man who served me was incredibly rude. Didn't greet me or say a single word. I had showed him my ID and he didn't even look at it. Then he abruptly threw my room card on the counter. I apologised for being slightly later than I was expecting due to flight delays and he made a grunting noise. When I asked if he would like me to pay at check in he grunted again and was incredibly condescending about me asking. I was concerned that this was setting the tone for my stay but it was the only bad thing. I hope that man is ok and I was sorry he seemed to be having a bad night.

The staff are wonderful; friendly, attentive, competent, the best! Yes, it is not a sparkling new building but the kai is delicious, the linen fresh, the pillows just right. We were here for 3 long hard days of work, but we have been treated with such care and attention. Definitely made the days easier.

I booked many months ( 10) earlier as we were coming for a wedding and had booked 3 rooms. By chance happened to be in Palmy the weekend before the wedding and thought I’ll just check on our booking as we needed to change the number of people coming. To my surprise our rooms were not booked even though I had a confirmation email to state that it was all confirmed for those rooms and dates (3 nights) To our rescue was a lovely lady Julie who was on reception that day. She managed to change and sort everything so we had the rooms we needed. Thank you Julie. Oh but after such hard work by one member to make our stay great it was let down by the rooms themselves. The bed had stained sheets, a very loud and noisy air conditioner, a coffee machine provided as we had a suite, but no coffee pods to use in it. The next day I noticed our bed wasn’t made just pulled up and areas of the room were dusty. It did improve for the other days. Not a 4 star hotel at all more like a 2 star. We felt it was over priced and so won’t be staying again .

Budget as! Clean enough. Ok to stay at if you want something cheap but still not cheap enough for what you get. Needs a good makeover, not like it was 5 years ago. Showers need a good scrub, no Skytv not even at bar to watch rugby. Used the pool, was clean but leaves everywhere grounds could do with a caretaker to tidy up leaves. Beds uncomfortable for me but was still clean enough. Looked in the gym, needs a clean and tidy, build up of dust and smells old and dusty really. Only stayed as was cheapest place left in Palmy. Rest were double the price

Ok but not the cleanest. Dated. Restaurant food below par. 3 meals were enough as they got worse each night. The limited menu was not posted in rooms and all information in room and lift pretty out of date. Room was not cleaned much each day and a general tardiness in presentation.
