    Nothing Only niddle found out tips given on the bill unless given by hand in money do not reach the staff that serve you hotel really need to look at this policy. Frontline staff make and create the experience for the guest, so pass on the reward that people give them.

    The uniqueness and charm of the hotel oldie worldie with a blend of modern interventions wellness centre pool areas, etc. The staff and management are a credit to the hotel without the stuffiness you get in some 5star hotels.

    Nothing - couldn’t fault it.

    Everything! Perfect from when we arrived to when we left. To name a few things: friendly, helpful staff; beautiful room with a comfortable bed; amazing breakfast; great pool and gym. Sometimes luxurious places can be a bit stuffy and off putting, but this definitely wasn’t - a warm, welcoming experience.

    The option to do online check in only to arrive & be told you must also queue to check in manually at the desk. It was not a fast check in and there was no welcome refreshment offered during this lengthy process

    Staff were attentive, spa & massage services very good, taxis in/out of town easy to get, valet parking, drinks out front very relaxing.

    No major issues. A few things could be tweaked at breakfast, I found I had long waits for tea on a couple of days, also only half a pot of water which was nowhere near boiling which doesn't make good tea. Bacon was very fatty with little meat , I would expect better for the €30 breakfast charge. No option of poached eggs. Just fried or scrambled but apart from that 9/10 for the rest of the Buffet. Great selection of meats/ cheeses, yogurts etc.

    It's a good , generally well run hotel. Staff very helpful.

    Poemas restaurant was the best meal of our lives. I really enjoyed the thermal hydrotherapy circuit and our spa treatments. We came to GC specifically to come to the hotel after being inspired by Agatha Christie. Little did we know that she actually stayed at the hotel!! Everything was amazing.

    The service was inconsistent. Some members of staff were friendly and helpful, and some were grumpy and uncaring. Also, some language barriers and technology related issues.

    Very beautiful old-world hotel in a convenient location. It is lovely inside and outside and full of character. Very nice pool area, excellent spa, and great choice of restaurants and bars. Comfiest beds and best showers ever.

    The breakfast room was always crowded and made it difficult to get what you wanted. The staff were helpful but you had to seek them out to get coffee or anything else.

    Fancy hotel with all the stuff you'd expect in a 5-star hotel.
