Modern Living Hotel

This was essentially a budget hotel passing itself off as 4 star one, very dated and in need of renovation, which was happening during the stay. Room was on the 4th floor facing the back of the building, don’t expect much of a view. Room was clean, furniture was in reasonably good condition although showing its age. Aside from the basics, the room included all the mod cons described, WiFi in the room never worked during the stay, spoke to reception who couldn’t get it working so the solution was to connect to a neighbouring rooms WiFi, would have been fine except the WiFi was poor. Paid extra for a room with a balcony but this equated to 6 feet by 2 feet, you could just about get a chair but nothing else. The balcony door was slightly damaged so even when closed and locked it could still be pushed opened, was advised they couldn’t fix it during my stay but showed me a way of forcing it to lock! Hotel gym was non existent, extensive building working taking place so no exercise machines available, not advised about this prior to the stay. The swimming pool looked less than desirable and was tiny and the roof terrace area needs renovating. Hotel had a bar on the roof but always looked to be deserted, didn’t try the restaurant. Location wise the hotel is perfectly positioned to the city centre and the nightlife. The beach is across the road from the hotel. Hotel staff were helpful when needed, no complaints. Overall I would rate this as a 2 star hotel and feel it was misrepresented at the time of booking. Considering the price per night I would not recommend.

I attempted to cancel my booking after reading the awful reviews, but the hotel refused any kind of refund. The general manager’s response to my request—sent during what seemed like a drug-fueled hangover—was nothing short of arrogant and unprofessional. I had already been warned about the rude staff, and after seeing how the management treats customers, I knew staying here would have been a nightmare. I walked past the hotel, and it was exactly as described in other reviews—an absolute dive. If you value good service and a decent stay, avoid this place at all costs. The general manager needs to focus his energies on narcotics anonymous then improving the hotel and his own attitude or go manage a hostel.

First of all, the good aspects are the location and the positive and solution-oriented attitude of the staff at the reception. All other issues need to be addressed by the managers. The facility is old and neglected, not clean, there is a lot of noise and one of the reasons for this noise is the chimney and fan noise coming from the kitchen. The elevator is extremely slow and I think it does not work properly. It can be said that there is no alternative to stairs. In general, there is no tidy and clean appearance. It needs to be renewed, I personally will not stay there again.

By far worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in, I work all year round so wanted a rest but was far from that!!!! Cockroaches in room so could hardly sleep, then when I did manage too, workman in the hotel drilling and banging from 8am in the morning ( not impressed). Staff was nice enough but did not speak much English at all, so was hard to try and resolve problems. Lift out of service for most of duration of holiday so if you have mobility problems I would not recommend
