The hotel staff were great, there were some maintenance issues in both rooms i stayed in room 309, the toilet pan is badly stained with lime scale and the faucet is loose on the vanity unit, Room 108 - the toilet pan is loose from the mounting bracket in the wall and the wall tiles have cracked because of that

Very disappointed with kids club!!!

Very poor standard of family room. Just a regular room with two extra beds thrown in. Unbelievably warm on third floor even with window open and fan on, very uncomfortable. Advertises a kids club every night during summer, yet when we enquired they said they had to check it was on. Unfortunately it was on, and we sent our 5 and 6 year old there to be left without a drink in a soft play centre with no organised activities. Left to run around for 1.5 hours with not as much as water offered. Paid 10 euro per child extra for them to dine with Talbot Tiger - who didn’t show up for them, and surprise surprise no drink with their meal. Thank god we collected them early, as our 5 year old downed a 500ml of water the minute we picked her up and had been asking her older brother to ask them for a drink, but he was too shy as he thought he needed money. Kids of that age shouldn’t have to ask, they should be reminded to hydrate when running around a soft play “supervised”. The staff of the hotel are absolutely fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us including reception and bar staff - but overall I don’t know where the four stars come from. 240 euro for a Saturday night in a squashed “family” room in unbearable heat.

Friendly staff. Really good value. Spacious room. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Beds a bit soft for my preference. A few things overlooked in room cleaning. Bathroom was spotless. Access to a great leisure centre.

Communication is terrible

Communication prior to checking in was NON EXISTENT. I messaged via the booking app ( no response), I emailed ( no response), I rang and the call was eventually answered by a young man who couldnt help at all as he was "only in the reservation office".
