The service is horrendous. Turned up and they didn't have my booking. Once that was sorted I waited over an hour for some arancini balls. This isn't my first stay here and something similar happened previously. When I asked for a copy of my invoice the person behind the counter said that I didn't get one because I didn't ask. I directed him to the sign on the desk that says an invoice would be emailed as part of the check out process. I will not stay here again.

stood on a metal clip on the carpet which was obviously not cleaned very well. Glasses in the room were dirty and there was only 2 coffee sachets. No stocked mini bar and the person in the room next door was still watching his loud tv at 2.30am. Breakfast was good, coffee there was excellent

We stayed in room 823. The first thing we noticed was the fitted sheet was not fitted and kept pulling up. When we woke up in the morning, we both had had a reaction to something in the air conditioning, each of us sniffling and with a bit of a sore throat (these symptoms both went soon after we checked out). The other thing that we were deeply concerned about was the breakfast buffet. We ended up not eating our food, as everything that should have been hot was cold - eggs, bacon, sausages… the tomatoes looked uncooked and had just had a large amount of herbs heaped on them. The fact that all this food was being served cold makes me wonder if any checks for done from a health and safety standpoint, as you could actually get someone sick from this. We definitely do not feel we got what we paid for and this experience has turned us off Holiday Inn.
