During my stay at Hotel Excelsior, I was captivated by the stunning sea views and the luxurious atmosphere. However, several aspects left me disappointed, particularly the service which was often impersonal and inattentive. The rooms I encountered, while spacious, did not quite meet the expectations set by the hotel's luxury branding. Overall, it was a mixed experience that didn't fully live up to the hype.

Rooms

The Superior room I booked felt more like a basic accommodation rather than a luxury experience. It was quite small and underwhelming compared to what I anticipated from a 5-star hotel. Despite attempting to upgrade, I was informed that the hotel was fully booked, leaving me feeling stuck in a less-than-ideal situation.

Service

The reception staff were efficient but lacked warmth and personal touch, which was quite surprising.

This lack of attentiveness was evident across various services, including check-in and room maintenance.
