Hotel Amethyste

The location was okay-as it was near a quiet clean beach and a few restaurants. The bathroom had been recently renovated and was quite acceptable. The hotel staff were pleasant and polite.

The hotel was very difficult to find as there are many narrow streets with No Entry signs on them. There was no area map available for us when we arrived at the hotel-so as a consequence-we kept getting lost! There was no facility in the kitchen to boil water for a hot drink. I asked for a kettle-and received a coffee maker later in the evening-which was unsuitable for making tea and hot chocolate. In the end I used the microwave to heat up the water. The pillows were okay-but the bed was extremely hard-with no comforter or underblanket underneath. The room and the hotel had a damp odour and the bedroom ceiling had a problem with damp. The small inadequate wardrobe was situated alongside the bed-making it very difficult to get in and out of bed. The whole hotel, bedroom and kitchen area need to be fully renovated to modern standards. It is very poor in decor and extremely outdated. We both thought that the hotel was extremely expensive for the very poor quality of comfort in the room. I would not recommend this hotel to anybody-until further renovations have been done and comfort levels raised. There was no lift available-so we had to struggle up two flights of stairs with all of our luggage. This hotel is unsuitable for anyone old or infirmed. The walk to the town centre and the main beach and restaurants was around 15-20 minutes. The hotel charged extra for breakfast for each person-which made it really poor value for the money. We would not stay at this hotel again-or recommend it to friends.
