Negative Reviews
negative:
Disappointing breakfast
Guests are not very impressed with the breakfast which is included at this hotel. They find that there is not very much variety and what is available is almost the same every day, which can be too repetitive if you are staying for a few days.
negative:
Poor Wi-Fi service
While guests appreciate the free Wi-Fi included at this hotel, some guests did not find it worked well in their rooms, being unable to get a connection or having a connection that would keep cutting out, However, Wi-Fi does work in common areas.
negative:
No spa out of season
Guests were
disappointed to find that the spa, sauna and traditional hammam was not open
while they were there and this was because it was out of season. When the hotel
has this facility guests would like to be able to use it year round.
