Hotel Christian

An honest review ; More like a hostel than a hotel. Cheap but not cheerful at all. We paid around £40 a night so it was low cost but still a waste of money and a holiday. Wish we’d paid more and stayed elsewhere. Most facilities closed ; pool, restaurant, roof terrace. The bar was ‘open’ but you couldn’t actually sit in the bar only on the outside terrace which was too cold or in a very dated looking inside room with no windows, just really unwelcoming. Coach loads of teens arrived every night at around 7pm and ran around the hotel, corridors and shouted off the balconies until 10.30pm (must have been their curfew). Woken up every morning at 6,30-7am by teens dragging their suitcases down the stairs !! The area is pretty much closed down for winter, we only found 3/4 bars and restaurants open to eat in. There were no loungers or chairs on the beach either as these are not put out until late may/June. The hotel said this is out of their control by why advertise facilities that are not there? Staff are lovely and really try to be helpful but the hotel is tired and a throw back to the 1970s. Tv is tiny and so high up on the wall it was hard to see it ! Not that we want to watch much TV but as the weather was so bad it would have passed some time. Breakfast was the same 4 cold items. One plate of bread rolls, one of plain croissants, one sliced cheese and one sliced ham. There was a hot drinks machine and orange juice (watered down mix in a machine). We were offered yoghurts too. Odd bits of jam portions and biscuits but nothing changed each day and nothing hot. The most basic breakfast we’d ever had and didn’t bother going down after day 3. Shower is honestly so small I could barely fit through the doors (womens UK size 16-18). It was a squeeze once in too to turn around or wash your hair. The shower was rusty and just old looking. Plenty of hot water though ! Towels were a good size and replaced daily. Balcony with 2 plastic chairs dated and rusty. Beds are like sleeping on rock , staff did try to help by giving us squares of foam to place under the sheet but made little difference. There is only one socket in the room which is in the bathroom if you unplug the hairdryer. Holiday was just awful. They offered a free week in Sept but we wouldn’t return even for free.

The price and quality are very good. Tasty breakfast- croissants, rolls, ham, cheese, yoghurt, eggs. Rooms are cleaned daily. Very nice service. Near to the beach. Lots of restaurants in near area. I recommend to everyone!
