I stayed one night in Room 519, directly opposite the lifts. Despite requesting a quiet room, the lifts sounded like a V8 Supercar taking off until around 1am, then started again about 6am. I was sick and exhausted, so it made for a terrible night’s sleep.
On the plus side, walking into the room initially felt like stepping onto the set of a Pedro Almodóvar film – bold colours, dramatic styling and wonderfully cinematic. Personally, I think it would have been even more striking had they kept the room simple and all white rather than adding the new lighting and padded bedhead.
There was no kettle in the room, so every cup of tea meant another trip in the lift to get hot water. If you’re British, Australian, or simply enjoy a decent cup of tea, be aware. The mini-fridge is a generous size though, which is handy if you bring your own milk, as the coffee machines downstairs only provide powdered milk.
The buffet is enormous, but the food was very bland and reminded me of hospital food. The hotel seems to cater largely to big coach groups, particularly German tourists, who certainly make the most of the all-you-can-eat buffet. Evening entertainment consists of dancing that, thankfully, you can watch from the street without actually staying there.
What really disappointed me was the constant upselling. Water isn’t included with meals, shaded parking costs extra, late checkout was another €34, and there always seemed to be another surcharge waiting.
The, worst hotel in my 3 wks
