Full review

I booked into this hotel on the basis that it was relatively cheap for a so called 4 star hotel.

Pros:
- Staff were friendly
- Rooms were actually appartments with fridges etc

Cons:
- Rooms were very old fashionned - did not seem to have been decorated for 30 odd years.
- No bath, only a shower.
- Shower did not drain very well and therefore had to limit showers to a couple of mins.
- There was a high charge to use the swimming pool (may have been as high as 25 euros a day)
- Most guests were american school children - not the most relaxing
- Breakfast was poor at best
- There was a charge for car parking (10 euro a day I think)
- It is difficult to get to and from the airport so taxi is essential
- The underground station was a fair walk and the area is not very nice (we had an attempted pickpocketting and mugging).

Conclusion:

Overall as you can probably tell I was not happy and in hindsight i would have gladly spent the extra money to stay in a hotel nearer the centre.

Also, do be very careful of pickpockets. We were nearly done and i was being very cautios - they're amazing! I would recommend padlocking all zips with anything valuable in, even if it means extra hassle. After, they nearly pickpocketed us they went on to try other people down the bus. They work in groups and the bloke looked skitz
