This is a 3 star hotel masquerading as a 5 star 1920s Fitzgerald era Art Deco experience in order to charge from €250 a night. I understand this hotel has a history and this certainly appeals to the older generation. However for a younger generation, this falls short given today’s expectation of a 5 star service. Whilst the service was good on arrival, you’d need to get the very best room with sea view to get close to 4 star. The hotel is beautiful and set in a stunning location.If you book a city view, expect to receive a small room with views of the road and some trees. A tiny, unkept, unusable balcony with the sound of traffic. No views of the city. You’ll also get a cramped green tiled bathroom with a cheap shower/ bath combination that leaks. The TV is old. The towel rails are old. The taps are old. All the small details you expect in a 5 star hotel are not here. It’s tired and dated.There’s no pool. You have to go to the sister hotel up the road. This is my fault for not checking, I just assumed as it’s 5 star. You have the sea, but you have to pay for sun loungers.Sun loungers are €30 a day or more depending on where you sit. This is common policy in the area yes, but considering you’re a guest who’s paid significantly you’d expect this to be included.Valet parking is €40 a night. This was not made clear at the start so when we contested this, they quickly removed the charge- this was appreciated.A pot of tea is €8 euros- which we felt was extortionate at the beach bar. Popcorn doesn’t have those margins.I said I was disappointed. I was offered a sea view room for an extra €100 euros. They said they were fully booked so had no other rooms.
