Stayed there recently for a meeting. Room is spacious but extremely stuffy. Had to switch on the 2 unit of air conditioner full blast as there is no windows for a few hours before the room is bearable. Imagine this day and age and there is still a 21 inch CRT TV on the table in the room. Furniture is... More

Not a great luxury and could stand some refurbishing. But, overall great location, good food, generous breakfast, comfortable rooms, courteous staff and reasonable price. Elevators are slow and difficult to use.

Overall a comfortable hotel. We had a room on the 32nd floor with views of the sea to the north and the hills to the south. A friendly group of hotel staff - they make you feel at home. My only complaint was 2 tiny cockroaches in the room. One dead roach (5 mm) was on the shower floor and... More

Free wifi in all areas of the hotel including rooms, restaurants and the ballroom. Signal strength is good and the speed reasonably fast. Breakfast buffet is pretty mediocre Room is spacious with jacuzzi. No toothbrush or toothpaste in bathroom so bring your own
