My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in February. We would never stay here again. In terms of facilities and comfort, we had a pleasant stay. Our bedroom was large, clean, and well-furnished, and the adjoining gym and spa is fantastic. We opted for a VIP stay, meaning we were on the VIP floor (the highest floor – 15), and this included a VIP lounge, and free gym and spa access. Unfortunately, our stay at this otherwise decent hotel was overshadowed by a theft from our room. One afternoon, whilst we were at the gym, I had a €50 note stolen from my wallet, which had been left in our hotel room. I only realised a few hours later when we were out for dinner. When we traced back our day, and our spending, it became clear the money could only have gone missing when my wallet had been left unattended in the room for 4 hours. The theft of the money is not hugely fundamental. (We were planning to leave a much bigger tip for the hotel staff than a mere €50.) The sad reality, however, was that our trust and safety had been compromised. We no longer felt safe to leave valuables in our room. We felt violated, and our trust in the hotel had been breached. This incident was made worse by the poor way it was dealt with by the Guest Relations Manager, Paul Cozma. Paul approached us during breakfast the next morning. He said he wanted to resolve the issue and repair our trust in the hotel. He asked us for ideas on how to fix the problem. We couldn’t think of anything at the time, but a few hours later we suggested the hotel arrange a free taxi for us back to the airport later in the week (€30). This would have been a nice gesture. Later that same day, Paul and the hotel rejected our suggestion. In the end, the hotel failed to do or offer anything. We had asked Paul whether anyone from the hotel had accessed our room between 12pm and 4pm on the day in question. (The room had already been cleaned at 11am.) Paul told us, yes – a member of staff had entered our room between those times. However, this member of staff was a “long established and trusted employee who had worked at the hotel for 30 years”. Consequently, nothing was done. No questions asked. No investigation. No apology. To his credit, Paul Cozma was always polite and respectful. However, for a ‘Guest Relations Manager’ Paul has no power or influence to maintain or repair guest relations. On the day we were leaving, Paul even admitted to us that he had failed to offer any solutions or take any action regarding the theft from our room. Having read the reviews on Tripadvisor, we noticed that other people have had similar experiences. Whilst staying at the hotel, other guests have had money stolen from their rooms. We cannot recommend staying at this hotel, therefore and we would encourage readers of this review to think twice. Ask yourself this: if multiple guests at this hotel have reported money being stolen from their rooms, most likely by the hotel’s own staff – with the hotel failing to
