Excessive industrial fan noise directly outside the window, making it difficult to sleep. A leaking bidet in the bathroom. General lack of cleanliness in the room. A very limited and underwhelming breakfast compared to what was advertised.

Good stay first half second half room availability

I had two stays the first was fantastic, the second stay was dissapointing as booked back for a final night and only had a smoking room availible. It stank as a non smoker it was really acrid. Very disappointing. I understand availability problems but there was no mention of smoking room on hotels.com

Issues with check in

Unfortunately I was told on 3 out of our 7 bookings that they didn’t have the booking. Not really sure how their system works but it seemed a bit unorganised. All bookings were made a while ago so it wasn’t because it was last minute. I like the hotel in general, nice rooms, good gym and pool and also nice food. But I have stayed there a couple of times now and every time there seems to be some issues finding the bookings. I might start calling the hotel in advance to confirm that they got all bookings that were made.
