3 star hotel al most.

The check out is at 11 am and the harass you until you go. but when you do check in they delay, dont give the room on time. Also the beds are individual and they put them together motel style so sleeping in couple is super hard. this is not a 5 star hotel.

Overall this is a very nice hotel with good amenities. For the price and quality of hotel, I would have expected better service. It was not very good by the pool or at breakfast. The pool is lovely but very small for such a large hotel, with only about 20 seats. The rooms are nice but dated, and I would have preferred a true queen bed to the two twins pushed together. Overall, for the money it could have been better, but it is not a bad place.

I was very disappointed with my stay. For a rate of over 300 euros per night, I expected at least a comfortable and well-equipped room, but what I found was far from that. The bed was pushed directly against the wall, there was no bedside table, and the overall layout felt closer to a hostel than to a hotel in this price category. The room lacked the basic comfort and functionality one would reasonably expect for the rate charged. For the price, I anticipated more attention to detail, better design, and a sense of value. Unfortunately, it felt overpriced and underwhelming. In my opinion, the room simply does not justify the cost, and I would not recommend it to travelers looking for comfort or value for money.
