There is no way this is a 4 star property. So dirty and the rooms are need of a huge upgrade as everything is just worn out. Paying 4 star prices for a 1 star hotel. Skip this one as there are far better choices.

Bed was too hard and you could hear just about everything, doors slaming and not sure ehat it was but their was some loud banging noise. Staff were excellent, friendly and were awesome. Hotel itself probably needs some work done on it as some areas outdated.

pleasant hotel; friendly staff; minor problems dealt with right away. However, the furnishings leave something to be desired. Double room has a nice king-sized bed, and one chair at the desk - and nothing else - just a large empty space. The rooms are large enough to accommodate a small sofa or a couple of chairs to lounge in. When asked about it, told that's the standard hotel furnishing, but if we wanted, they could bring a couple of chairs - which they did - however the chairs were basic conference room chairs, not easy lounging furniture!

Beds were great. 3 people in room only 2 towels supplied. Air con not great as blows over the beds and control doesn’t work very well so was either hot or cold in room. The shower was terrible more cold water than hot, you could not control it. The pool isn’t big but was nice to use on the Saturday after along day of activities and the boys were looking forward to using it again on the Sunday only to show up at 1530 to be told pool closed until 1830 which is a weird time to clean a pool for so long. Kids not happy! Lastly Sudima advertises an 1130 check out and at 0900 housekeeping start knocking at our door not once but twice so that ruined that. Not sure we’d stay again.

Very old facilities, looks like a 70s hotel room. Unpleasant smelly room (not the typical sulphur from the city but rather like a cheesy-like aroma). They didn’t clean the room but rather put some towels on the floor outside. And to make it worst, they decided to interrupt the supply of hot water at 10:00 am or so, without even informing! Too expensive for an old hotel.
