1 night at the price of 600 euro, disgusted
Where do i start, so from when i arrived until i went home i never felt welcome at all. I was being watch and followed like i was some sort of criminal i payed 600 euro for 1 night stay which didnt even include breakfast they had also taken a further 500 euro from my account whitch was followed up with a refund. The room was very basic and i had the worst night slep ever i am now in a premier inn at the moment and its a 5/5 for me, overall i would rate this place as 2/10 i felt so intimated which was terrible i could even get any food because they would not let us into the bar told me to get room service and also if i wanted breakfast they also suggested room service. I was never so glad to get out of that hotel i was clearly judged for the way i looked i was going to the rds so has casual clothes on i.am nust so angry with the treatment i had.
This was my bed when I was told I had a double room I also had 3 kids with me so they got the double bed and I created this.

This hotel is exceptional. This was one of the best 5 star hotels that I have stayed at. From the doorman, to housekeeping, to food service, the staff is fantastic. Everyone greets you by name. The room was beautiful and very clean. The cleanliness was remarkable. I had several meals from room service, all served beautifully and delicious. The hotel actually made me want to stay in rather than go out, it was that lovely. What a great property.
