“I did not enjoy my stay due to be in the dark about what is happening in the country and abroad.”
The breakfast was good. It had all the expected ingredients. The location was superb.

The lights were not working and I had to report them to be fixed. Once fixed, they flickered and I eventually switched them off.

Tried contacting hotel staff to update the number of guests in my booking. They did not respond timely, and weren't help so I ended up spending more for an extra I didn't need
