Great location but definitely not 4*

Jan 2023 | Anita H

Spent Christmas week here at the Hotel Alay, being prior warned from Jet2 about the roadworks, no great problem to us as we were allocated a lovely room overlooking the Marina and sea on 11th floor, obviously being Christmas there were three days of no work anyway, the whole road from bottom to top has been dug up which will be ongoing for several months apparently. Room was ok with usual facilities including use of free safe, bathroom compact and still got bath in but once stepped in, good shower. I was aware that the hotel was ‘dog friendly’ but not aware until speaking to a dog owner that dogs are actually in the rooms with their owners, I was also shocked to see owners bringing their dogs into the dining room for breakfast and dinner, I like dogs but not in hotel restaurants. Entertainment virtually non-existent, we did have a DJ on Christmas Day night in the bar area - bar area nice, comfortable and Adam, one of the barmen made great cocktails! The main thing that future guests need to know is about the food: COLD COLD COLD!!! Even the fried eggs just brought out from the kitchen weren’t even the slightest bit warm. Breakfast usual choices but cold baked beans, bacon and scrambled egg. The best part of breakfast was good choices of bread. Evening choices covered all tastes, meat, chicken, fish and vegetarian, desserts were ok as they were cold anyway, for example rice pud, crème caramel and fruit mousses. The staff are run off their feet with guests asking all the time for replenishment of everything, even butter, orange juice, crockery. I hope my honest review helps, the hotel has such a good location but needs a lot of future planning to serve decent and more imaginative food, expected from a 4* hotel.

Wonderful hotel, lovely staff, helpful and friendly. The only thing that we found not good was the temperature of the food, it was warm at best, it would help if the plates were hot. The selection of different foods was very good.

Wouldn't stay h/b again

Stayed here for 10 nts this month,the hotel is lovely as are all the staff who will try to accommodate most requests. We booked a twin room, got a double so they moved us, the 2nd room had a shower screen fastened to the bath,great if you are young and flexible. I'm not so they moved us to an accessible room that was lovely but no balcony or view. The breakfast was OK but the evening meals left a lot to be desired, as the hotel was very quiet on our last weekend they introduced a set menu !!!!! We ate out for the last 4 days !!!!!!! The replacement of the sewage pipes outside the hotel wasn't brilliant but better to be done now than in high summer. Just happy that the marina had some good if expensive restaurants to eat at. Would I stay here again NO but the area is very nice.
