Upon arrival, our Uber driver had a hard time finding the entrance. Why? Because the weathered sign doesn't make it clear as to where or if there's a lobby. ##### Timothy Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicolaas Cornelis 4 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Wij komen niet meer terug. Nauwelijks te vinden. Soort van weggestopt. Wordt totaal geen Engels gesproken. Ziet er op de foto’s een stuk mooier en moderner uit dan in het echt. In de ochtend kan er nauwelijks een goedemorgen af. Geen idee hoe het werkt met het ontbijt. De medewerkster staat achter de balie soort van administratie te doen. Wordt niet gevraagd of je een kop koffie wilt of hoe het ontbijt in zijn werk gaat. Ook niet als je al 20 minuten aan tafel zit. Als er vervolgens een Duits gezin de kamer uit komt die vrolijk begroet wordt met een kop koffie is dat voor mij een teken om uit te checken en elders te ontbijten. Bij uitchecken kwam in het Spaans pas de vraag voor het ontbijt. Dat was 20 minuten te laat. Bedden zijn redelijk hoog maar wel comfortabel. ##### Nicolaas Cornelis Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Max 4 Aug 2024 ##### Max Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Disney Ambassador Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Disney-Ambassador-Hotel.h13209188.Hotel-Information) > > [Nostos Studios & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kefalonia-Hotels-Nostos-Studios-Apartments.h5306357.Hotel-Information) > > [The Icons Lisbon Central Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-The-Icons-Hotel.h48913929.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bursa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bursa-Hotels.d6134123.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Pool in Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hilton-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d3000000407-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Puerto de Luna Pet Friendly & Family Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Puerto-De-Luna-Pet-Friendly-Family-Suites-Hotel.h34110.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Norway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Norway-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d138-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Sway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sway-Hotels.d6084894.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [CityClass Hotel am Dom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-CityClass-Hotel-Am-Dom.h23238.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Perth Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Mercure-Perth-Hotel.h519377.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Warminster](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warminster-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d5461-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Gym in Luxembourg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Luxembourg-Hotel-With-Gym.0-0-d103-thotelwithgym.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels near Tuerredda Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tuerredda-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248621532495285-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Norwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d2620--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [El Sombrero Apartments Los Gigantes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santiago-Del-Teide-Hotels-El-Sombrero-Apartments-Los-Gigantes.h4427868.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Jet2 Palma de Mallorca (PMI) to Edinburgh (EDI) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/jet2-from-palma-de-mallorca-to-edinburgh/ls/pmi/edi) > > [Flights from Elche (ALC) to Granadilla de Abona (TFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/alc/tfs/alicante-to-tenerife) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Salé (RBA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/rba/manchester-to-rabat) > > [Jet2 Manchester (MAN) to Timi (PFO) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/jet2-from-manchester-to-paphos-intl/ls/man/pfo) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Elmas (CAG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/cag/edinburgh-to-cagliari) ### Cars ### Packages ### General > [Visit Biddlestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Biddlestone.dx553248635975847510) > > [Visit Scheveningen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Hague-Scheveningen.dx4433) ---
