Priscilla R. Couples - 7/6/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Extremely disappointing stay in this hotel: - not sure if the bed linen was clean as there were some stains, hairs and even piece of tissue in the bed, my pillow case has some black stains and hair on it - there were random items in the fridge probably left by the previous client - cleaning in the bathroom was not great: dust on hand soap and lotion dispensers, mould in the bathtub, hair hanging between the toiletry dispensers… - cups and glasses filled with dust and barely cleaned - it’s in hot weather and no bottle of water was left in the room - we were lucky because we came between the 2 heatwaves so the room temperature was bearable with only a fan but if you come during the heatwave, be ready as there is no A/C The only good side was the breakfast buffet with a good selection of items.

Paul G. Couples - 7/5/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was great, spacious and clean. Bathroom was also a good standard with a separate shower and bath. Breakfast was excellent. All was great apart from one thing. No aircon in the room on one of the hottest days/nights of the year. The first I knew of it was when I opened the door to the room. No mention of the lack of aircon on the booking or by the reception staff. I had to ask staff for a fan and was told "none of the rooms in the old part of the hotel has aircon." In 2026 this isn't good enough. The ordinary fan was next to useless. The very least the hotel could offer is a cooling tower fan for the room. If you make a booking in the hot weather then don't ask for a room in the old part of the hotel.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your spacious, clean room, the bathroom facilities, and our breakfast. We're sorry to learn that the lack of air conditioning impacted your stay, particularly during the exceptionally hot weather. We understand how uncomfortable this must have been, and we appreciate your comments regarding the information provided before and during your stay. Your feedback has been shared with the team as we continue to review how we communicate our room facilities and explore ways to improve guest comfort. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Admiral Abbey
