While Allamanda is generally a nice hotel, it's the small details that let it down. It seemed a bit tired and rough around the edges. In our room, the drawers in the master bedroom didn't close (we had to wedge them shut with cardboard so as to not bump into them in the middle of the night), the air con in the main room didn't cool the room at all, the internet went down twice (we were there for four days), the bed was creaky so you woke up every time you rolled over, and when we asked for some milk for our daughter one night, we were told there was no milk in the entire hotel ... yet at breakfast the next morning, there was plenty of milk available for coffees etc. Also, parts of the hotel look like they just need a new coat of paint or some new tiles. The people who work there are all lovely, but they're not enough to make an OK experience better.
