HL Rondo Hotel

Excellent hotel, everything was brand new and an impeccable standard. Particularly enjoyed the pool area and À la carte breakfast. Would recommend!

Dopo aver soggiornato in altri hotel della stessa catena pensavo che l'HL Rondo fosse sulla stessa linea, ma manca molto. L'hotel ha quattro stelle ma ne toglierei una. È obsoleto e mal tenuto nonostante abbia subito una semi-ristrutturazione, necessita di molto altro. Troppe piccole cose che, senza rovinare il soggiorno, danno all'hotel una cattiva immagine e non ti fanno sentire completamente a tuo agio. Il buffet della colazione e del pranzo, anche se vario, è molto semplice e senza grande qualità. La mezza pensione non comprende le bevande, nemmeno l'acqua (€ 1,60 per mezzo litro). Il Wi-Fi nelle camere è a pagamento, cosa inaudita di questi tempi. I teli mare/piscina richiedono un deposito di 10€ e ogni volta che li cambi ti addebitano 2€. Rapporto qualità prezzo accettabile ma bisogna tenere presente che è lontano dalla spiaggia. Deve migliorare.

The hotel was refurbished last year and all areas of the hotel are still in very good condition. The rooms are large, plenty of wardrobe and shelf space, beds and pillows are comfy, towels replaced daily, lots of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. The only thing that would make the rooms even better is a remote for the air con - having to get out of bed to switch on/off was a pain. Sound proofing needs to be upgraded - we could hear neighbours’ bathroom noise and them talking. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful and available until 11:30am. We had dinner in the hotel twice and the food was good. The pool is a good size and clean. Anthony the lifeguard was friendly, diligent and helpful if needed e.g. putting parasols up/down. Sun lounger reserving went on so I would suggest the ‘no reserving’ rule was enforced. All the staff were friendly, helpful and worked to a high standard. The reception staff, particularly Guisi (who keeps a small number of reading books under the reception desk but you have to ask if you want one) were really helpful even when we asked to move rooms because of the noise from building work going on in the hotel. A mention also to Gian, one of the waiting staff in the restaurant during the evenings. Very disappointed that the gym was still under construction (an on site gym was one reason we booked the hotel) and we definitely wouldn’t have booked the hotel if we knew refurbishment in various parts of the hotel was ongoing. There is music around the pool but it’s not intrusive unlike the music from the Axel Beach hotel next door. Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings until 18:30 it’s party time. The music is *very* loud (you can’t escape it even inside the hotel) but on the plus side because people around the pool left, it freed up lots of sun beds. Eating out was easy but if you want more traditional food you need to see where the locals eat. La Pergola nearby was good.
