the staff were very nice, I had to change from another hotel that was so overhyped and catastrophic ( the Westgate hotel) to this hotel (that is in the same street by the way), because the other one, ...the staff were very nice, I had to change from another hotel that was so overhyped and catastrophic ( the Westgate hotel) to this hotel (that is in the same street by the way), because the other one, the luxury was only outside in the hall area, but the rooms themselves were so old, smelling old, the coffee machine was so dirty, the staff not friendly, and trying to overcharge people for anything, i had an overcharge of 300 euros, they took 1600 euros from my account!! their reason was that the room prices increased!! which is scaming!!, they were trying to take blindlly different amount of money from my account, plus they control the feedback on booking and they keep only the good ones which also is a fraud! I had to come to my new hotel's feedback section to make a feedback about them! and share my experience, my stay was normally for 12 nights, i had to change it after 5 nights only to this hotel (Bristol Hotel) that was 100 times better! the same location, more property, staff, coffee, cheaper, etc... it's a horror this westagate hotel, they are really scaming people and not friendly at all, i'll attach a picture of how they were blindly trying to take different money amounts from my account!! plus the coffee machine that was so dirty with this overhyped Westgate hotel in comparison to this hotel that is 100 times better in everything!!!Show More
