Brondo Architect Hotel

Great location, right in the heart of the city, lovely atmosphere. Staff were friendly when approached. Lovely decor. Good choice at breakfast.

We stayed in the 3bed villa, with two very young children and my parents who are in their 70s. Despite the listing giving the impression this was a family friendly place to stay, we found quite the opposite. There was no mention of the two long narrow flights of stairs to the apartment, which is a nightmare with no lift, a baby and toddler to carry, two prams, two big suitcases, hand luggage, changing bag etc. Once in the apartment, no mention that the rooms are split over two levels. The children’s room is up another flight of stairs, hard stone steps, with no stair gate. We had to use a laundry rack as a make shift barrier. Listing mentioned books, games and dvds for children, but had none. Also mentioned child safety socket covers, we had none of those, in fact wires were everywhere, sockets were low to the floor. Some lamps were left unplugged. Air conditioning unit in kids room was big and noisy. Not enough space in bathroom for toiletries , and a coffee table in there cut into your legs when on the toilet. No high chair (although they did find one for us when asked) no washing up liquid, sponge, towel in the kitchenette, no complimentary tea/coffee sachets. No maps offered. At breakfast it seemed to be a surprise that we’d come for breakfast and that we we’re staying at the hotel, we weren’t asked for a rooms number or anything. Not particularly family appropriate artwork behind the reception desk, of half undressed prostitutes, which our three year old started questioning . Staff friendly when spoken to, but other than that left alone. This hotel is perfect for couples, definitely not families.

Overrated! Poor terass
