The breakfast was great. The service was fine. We are returning guests and will return again. Excellent location. The property is in transition, but it wasn't really a problem. The plumbing is a little strange, but not awful. The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the view from our window of the sea.

The hotel is desperately in need of renovation. In fact, I would say it needed a renovation 25 years ago. Every tile in the bathroom is chipped, the room is dingy with dings and dents everywhere, the balcony has huge cracks and missing concrete. It is so bad I don’t think it should even be open until it gets a major facelift. The fact that they a charging full price for the state that it is in is beyond shocking; especially for a M Gallery Hotel.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel, but were quite disappointed in the failure of the air conditioning at the hotel. We brought this to the attention of the staff several times, and a service tech was dispatched to the room more than once in a vain attempt to repair the AC. While the service tech did what he could, and was very polite, the staff at the front desk seemed indifferent to our discomfort during our 4-night stay. Having stayed at Sofitel hotels in Athens, Greece, Washington DC, Beverly Hills, CA, and NYC, I expected more from this venerable chain. As a side note, the hotel was undergoing renovations while we were there, which resulted in a disrupted experience at the pool. On a cheerier note, we did utilize the spa, and thoroughly enjoyed our first Hammam, and a massage!

Really super hotel. Staff amazing esp Ahmed at Beach Bar, Imad at breakfast and our chambermaid Nazah. There is some refurbishment underway but no impact to our stay and it’s good to see the investment. The hotel is ideally located with its own beach area and bar which we used a lot.

The hotel is run down and is basically falling a part. We were not provided with water in our room on our first night and had to drink water from the mini bar which was charged. The hotel facilities were limited and also were very old. Additionally there were works happening on the sight so it was noisy.
