This hotel was 2.5 stars at best, the teeny tiny pool was a blessing for a quick cool off after the hot walk back from the beach club, and Lena in the breakfast room was AMAZING.
The highlights of the stay were that the air conditioning worked, towels were refreshed daily, beach towels were available to borrow daily and there was a small fridge in the room which was useful. They were good about letting us know that some airpods were left behind so we could collect them, which was nice.
Not 4 star
The hotel is situated along a large noisy freeway, with a city block length walk either way to a safe crossing for either public beach (left) or private beach club (right) as well as for the tram stops. There is very little in the way of shops or restaurants close by. The hotel bar was only open for a couple of hours in the evening (would have been better from 4 pm instead of 6 pm).
We booked a "standard double" room. The room was in desperate need of a refurb and the bathroom needed a thorough bleaching. The mould in the tiny little shower was grim, fittings not well secured and overall just thoroughly worn out.
We didn't have robes or slippers supplied (which were noted in room description), the safe was locked by a key you needed to ask reception for, and you had to remake your bed every night as housekeeping removed your top sheet every single time. The room was not soundproofed at all - you could hear everything in the hallway, stairs and the freeway out the front.
