Thank you, Expedia for the Booking. The only reason we regret is that we lost 2 to 3 days because we booked through Expedia, but I guess that can’t be help.

Dated, damp and overpriced. This property does not align with other hotels that advertise themselves as ‘five stars’. Moderate your expectations before you stay.

A beautiful hotel in a great location. Very impressive imposing building. Loved the outdoor swimming pool and the spa. Live music and singer in the evenings was a bonus! Doesn’t quite meet 5 stars for me though, perhaps 4 star more appropriate. Had to chase up for bath towels. One tiny bar of soap between the two of us for 4 days,cleaner left duster in our room, had to chase up toast at breakfast etc. Upon arrival we were allocated what must be one of their worst rooms - very small overlooking roof! Asked to change room and was allocated a better one quite promptly. Inside the hotel needs a refresh. It got very warm and stuffy in dining room and in bedrooms which don’t have a balcony.

A superb hotel, in a central location. Highly attentive and thoughtful staff. The interior areas were luxurious and felt like a historical discovery lay at every turn. Good choice of vegetarian and non-veggie food at breakfast. The only minor downside was the view from our room was over the inner side of the hotel which overlooked service areas - though at least it was blocked by a blind. Be prepared to pay extra for a sea view.
