Mediocre stay
This is a so-so, mid range hotel with marginally comfortable beds and furniture that needs repair. The shower room is quite nice. It's also very difficult to find if you are not driving.

Room needs repairs, avoid rooms near lift.
Noise from lifts kept me awake until late then woke me early in the morning. The sink had a crack in it, the shower went hot and cold, and the grout on the tiles was black in places. However, the hotel has a nice gym and swimming pool with great views. The breakfast was good also. It's a shame the room I stayed in was not better.

Needs updating
Stayed for a night. Location is good, near sta catarina shopping street and supermarket. The hotel is old, it has seen better days. Carpets, elevator, room furnishings are old and look worn out. Not a lot of bathroom amenities. Good breakfast but breakfast room also needs an update
