Staff offered to get switch it with one from the next room. Asked why it was not replaced and was told the owners have been repeatedly told about but they were ignored. No ceiling fan only an a/c which is unsuitable on cold and rainy days or if you have dry skin and avoid using too much air-conditioning. Cracked loose ceramic tiles both in the room and entrance to the rooms. I made an online booking for a room with 3 single beds viewing picture on website. But on arrival l was told they no longer do online bookings and therrfore was forced to pay more than l bargained for by taking a family room. But it is walking distance from Galo if you dont mind using the short cut. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kishen Makanji 14 Jan 2021 ##### Kishen Makanji Stayed 1 night in Jan 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson Blu Palace Resort & Thalasso, Djerba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Midoun-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Palace-Resort-Thalasso.h1503882.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Hotels in Gran Canaria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gran-Canaria-Hotels-Iberostar.0-0-d6047134--bIberostar.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [B&B Keswick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4371-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Hoek van Holland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoek-Van-Holland-Hotels.d5318.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ditlhapi Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shakawe-Hotels-Ditlhapi-Guest-House.h16021933.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palazzo at The Venetian](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-Palazzo-At-The-Venetian.h1769973.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Floriana-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior.h1685894.Hotel-Information) > > [Bastion Hotel Amsterdam Zuidwest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Bastion-Hotel-Amsterdam-Zuidwest.h910274.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels.d601750.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Relais Cooden Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bexhill-On-Sea-Hotels-The-Cooden-Beach-Hotel.h34317.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Cullen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Cullen-Hotels.s40-0-d182755.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Travelodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gaborone-Hotels-Travelodge.h12064519.Hotel-Information) > > [Hippocampus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Hippocampus-Hotel.h12612111.Hotel-Information) > > [H10 Catalunya Plaza Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-H10-Catalunya-Plaza-Boutique-Hotel.h521209.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa at Coveta Fuma at El Campello with private pool and sea view](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Campello-Hotels-Villa-At-Coveta-Fuma-At-El-Campello-With-Private-Pool-And-Sea-View.h27120128.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Cobham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cobham-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Cobham.h5320309.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Lord Byron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Lord-Byron.h34201.Hotel-Information) > > [Marrakech golf City resort Prestigia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Marrakech-Golf-City-Resort-Prestigia.h30233727.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Cappadocia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cappadocia-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6054888-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Pool in Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kensington-London-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-n6054501-0-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Caribe Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Juan-Hotels-Caribe-Hilton.h9228.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Amsterdam - Waterlooplein](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Motel-One-Amsterdam-Waterlooplein.h20305554.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Aviemore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4309-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Salt Lake City (SLC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/slc/london-to-salt-lake-city) > > [Flights from Lagos (LOS) to Cotonou (COO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/los/coo/lagos-to-cotonou) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Diyarbakir (DIY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/diy/manchester-to-diyarbakir) ### Activities > [Things to do in Clearwater Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Clearwater-Beach.d10759.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Giza Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giza.d178624.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Marina di Puolo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marina-Di-Puolo.dx6157974)
