This hotel is far below the standard it presents online. The room was extremely dark, with almost no natural light. It felt like a tunnel, made worse by very dark interior features. The artificial lighting was poor and impractical — even basic things like doing makeup were difficult. Cleanliness was a major issue. There was no mattress protector, only a thin sheet directly on a visibly stained mattress. The duvet had no cover and was placed directly on the bed, which raised serious hygiene concerns. The bathroom was particularly filthy: the sink was yellowed and grimy, with visible marks and dirt on the tiles above it — I actually gagged while brushing my teeth. There were also visible stains, water marks, and hair elsewhere in the bathroom. The carpet throughout the room had hair everywhere, making the room feel unhygienic and uncomfortable. When I checked under the bed while packing, it had clearly not been vacuumed or moved — I found a small tester perfume bottle and a hair clip. I didn’t want to look any further. The swimming pool area is poorly maintained. Despite looking modern in photos, it felt neglected in reality. Sun loungers were broken and the area was dirty and uninviting. The corridors also had a strong curry smell, which was unpleasant and overwhelming. Service was poor. After housekeeping, basic items like coffee and sugar were not replenished. I had to call reception multiple times to request them, and it took a very long time for anyone to respond.

The room was of a poor standard, with very little natural light and an awkward layout. It felt as though the space had been forced into an area not originally intended to be a room.
