Hotel Brown

Close to beach. Free hire bikes. Saftety deposit safe in room.

I find it hard to say anything positive about Hotel Brown. We booked this Hotel through Booking.com If you look at the pictures on Booking.com they are totally misleading as is the discription.The Hotel doesn't have a pool and is not surrounded by a garden. the pool is part of the Brown residence and not knowing this we assumed we had made a mistake when booking. We chose the Hotel because it was 'near the old town. It is a 20 min walk along badly kept pavements and through either a scuffy park or an underpass. The staff were not very welcoming, our roomwas supposed to be a twin and it took them 2 days of our 4 day trip to remake the beds as singles. There was no information in anything other than Russian and the room was not as good as the 2 star hotel we had just stayed in in Granada.

Good facilities in room- AC,shower, secure box. Free bicycle hire. Adequate breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful (for Italians). Free WiFi in piblic areas. No WiFi in rooms, even for extra charge. Insufficient staff at busy times. Breakfast starts too late (7:30) and is quite basic. Check-out deadline too early (10am), without facility for supplement to stay a few hours. Unable to exchange travellers cheques in hotel. Lift does not go to the top floor. Bicycles poor quality and disorganised (but free).

-Close to beach and bars - Hotel staff were not friendly - no effort was made to communicate in English - we were locked out every night after 12pm and they expected us to ring a man to come from down the road to let is in after walking to a telephone box to call him - buffet was poor with limited choice - towels and bedding got changed once -floors were dirty -no changing facilities on the last day when we cjecked out - pool was a 5 minute walk and not on our complex and nothing like the picture - the balcony was nothing like the one pictured with one dirty old chair on it

The place and the price Hotel staff doesn't know wifi settings. We spent much time trying to connect, but the problem was the wrong password. The rooms are very small.
