Ammende Villa

Nice location, very friendly staff at the reception!

Tea and coffee was cold at breakfast and not much choice of tea either. A bit dissapointed as they have got great restaurant there which I would deffenatly recommend.

The art deco building, furniture and contents and the history of the building were of interest. The breakfast was also fairly good.

On arrival we were given our keys and told the room was on the 2nd floor. On entering the room there was a noticeable smell of rotten wood. On trying to open the windows the moving sections were not hinged and came right out in my hands. We informed the reception to immediately be offered another room, however, this also smelled. One of the staff told us not to worry as all the rooms had the same smell! Finally, we were given a room in the Gardener's House. a good big room, but the bathroom sink which didn't drain properly still had the same problem 4 days later when we left; the carpet had a number of clearly visible stains on it, and squashed mosquitoes on the walls. Luxury? No. Deluxe Room? No. Most disappointing. Won't be back!

Liked the history of the hotel and the helpfulness of the reception staff. Food was excellent. All prices were high.

The bedlinen was 'tired' and needed renewing. It smelt of previous occupants. The floor in the covered balcony had rubbish under the table which was not removed during our stay. The room would have benefited from air conditioning.

the location

no air-conditioning, non-existing or non-working ventilation in the 3rd floor; it was like a sauna, even though the window was open; the window was next to the ceiling so no possibilities to watch out; slow service in the breakfast; the minibar doesn´t have cold drinks
