Travelled with family

Slightly better the average stay. Decent location
my experience, this hotel didn’t quite live up to the glowing reviews I’d read beforehand.
We were first given an accessible room, which I’d rate as 3-star at best. It wasn’t clean, and after raising concerns, we were moved to another room. The second room was a slight improvement — maybe 3.5 stars — but still far from what I’d expect from a Junior Suite.
At check-in, we were offered an “upgrade” for €60 per night, which didn’t sit right with me, especially as we’d already booked a Junior Suite. To add to this, I was charged €20 per night for my 2.5-year-old daughter — apparently because I only listed two people in the booking. I didn’t expect to need to add her, as she still sleeps in a cot at home and doesn’t require a bed. You’d assume a suite would have enough space for a toddler without extra charges.
I was told cots are free, but we were still charged €20, which just confirmed my feeling that this hotel is focused on upselling and adding hidden extras wherever possible.
I had really looked forward to a relaxing few days with my family in a suite — something more spacious and with a touch of luxury. Unfortunately, that just wasn’t the reality. I’ve stayed in budget hotels that were cleaner and more comfortable. I was honestly relieved to move on to our next hotel.
The positives:
– Pool area was nice
– Food and drink were reasonably priced
– Good location, just a short walk to the harbour
– Breakfast was fine, though very busy at peak times
Overall, 3.5
