Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The window in our room was very old and the wooden frame was falling apart and the window was covered with black thick mould. We booked a table in the restaurant for my birthday. We were only people sitting in the restaurant, however the waitress left us. We sat there with no service. We had to keep asking for drinks and food. Our desert arrived 25 minutes after our main course. We sat there for hour and a half just waiting for the service.
