Hotel Marconi

Consistently praised for cleanliness, friendly staff, and beachfront location. Guests enjoyed breakfast variety and comfortable rooms with sea views. Some appreciated modern furnishings and proximity to amenities and the beach.

The hotel it self is without a doubt a perfect position. The Receptionist seemed harassed and took our cases into the back room as our rooms were not available to check in until 4pm. We checked in around 5.30pm and was asked to pay the bill, I questioned the amount as it was only one night and we were staying two, however, they had already taken one nights stay and no receipt to give me...strange. The room was clean and spacious and we were lucky to have a corner room our balcony was so much larger. Although, I was disappointed to find that the bathroom bin had not been emptied from the previous guest, this I took down and gave to reception. We were on a Bed and Breakfast rate which was reasonable and comparative to other hotels. The hotel does offer a evening buffet, so as we were late returning to the hotel after meeting with friends we thought we could eat in the buffet before retiring to our room. We arrived at the buffet at 9.20pm, the looks we had from the waitress could kill, we were told we could enter but as we were not on the half board rate we would have to pay....thats not a problem, we were let in....after viewing what was left on the buffet we should have walked out, but it was becoming late and we needed to eat, so we sat down and helped our selves to a plate of salad, some dry pieces of pizza and some very dry pasta, thats all there was. To make matters worse, on departure of the restaurant, we were presented with a bill of 30 euros, apparently, its an "all you can eat" buffet at 15 euros a head. When I questioned this, I did say "did you see what we ate"? The restaurant manager just said its 30 euros and I only work here! Had she told us that the restaurant closes at 10pm and that it is an "all you can eat" buffet.....definitely after seeing what there was.....we would have left......lesson learnt. Although I think it marred our stay at the Marconi. The hotel is good, however, the staff in the restaurant (evening) were rude and you could tell they wanted to go home. The rest of the staff were pleasant and the breakfast staff unbelievably helpful.

Just returned home after a weekend stay here at the Marconi. Very happy to return to this hotel again, book a Seaview room it's absolutely worth it! The rooms are clean and were suitable for our needs for a short trip. Location wise its great, quiet but not miles away from the bars etc. It's right on the beach, but it has a rooftop terrace with a very small pool where you can catch some rays!! Didn't have breakfast but coffee and drinks selection on the bar was great. The staff were helpful and pleasant too and we got a late check out at no extra cost. The only down side for us was the check in and check outs. We arrived earlier in the day and couldn't check in until 4pm. I think this is too late when flights come in so early. And no option to book early check in meant we were exhausted after very little rest travelling and we could have done with an afternoon siesta to enjoy our evening that night only being there for 2 nights. We really did appreciate the late check out and baggage storage though. Overall we would return to this hotel and had a good experience for what we paid. It's not a party hotel, it's quiet and pleasant and has a client base of the older generation. We were two young females travelling and felt very safe there. See you next time Hotel Marconi!
