Nicholas Color Hotel

We stayed for only 3 nights before we moved to another resort (which was the plan as we were invited to stay at a 5-star resort free of charge on a business visit, we wanted to add on some days of rest before hand). I would not have wanted to stay here more than 3 nights but it was only because the demographic is very young (and we aren't).

The pros:

• very clean everywhere (I never saw anyone cleaning, which was amazing as the place was always spotless
• lovely staff (except the night desk man was a bit grumpy - we arrived at 2am)
• food was excellent - we were very impressed - a highlight for us. A lot of variety.
• Excellent value for money

The cons:

• A lot of young people who were there to go out and party. They got up late but stayed by the pool all day nursing hangovers before they did it all over again. Having said that they were respectful young people who weren't really a bother.
• because there was just the one pool and it wasn't that large, the young boys liked to play ball in the pool which was a bit annoying but it wasn't awful, just a bit annoying when you wanted to swim in peace.

We are seasoned travellers and really picky. We chose this hotel based on positive reviews and they were accurate.

I would definitely recommend.

Thanks

One of the worst hotels I have been to. Even though the staff was very polite and friendly the facilities were horrible. The rooms are old but slightly “renovated”. Bathroom was not practical at all, shower head was broken and the water on the floor would stay there forever. It also smelled bad. The room’s door was broken making it very hard to open and close. Doors in the corridors and in the room did not have door-stops making it very hard to move with luggage. On top of that the lift button for ground floor was broken the day we were leaving so we had to carry everything down the stairs. All inclusive was a big disappointment. Water bottles were not included only glass of water which tasted weird. Nothing in a bottle only draft drinks. Cocktail menu very limited and snack portions were ridiculously small. The buffets had a good variety but most food was low quality or not very tasty. Italian night was the best we tried comparatively. Breakfast was ok. We ended up spending no time at the hotel because the all inclusive deal was not so good after all and the pool was small. You also get charged for towels if you don’t have your own and additionally they ask for a €10 deposit per towel (cash only). There were dead cockroaches all over the place but not in the room. In general we were very unsatisfied with the hotel and it was very disappointing even for a budget hotel. Lastly, I want to emphasize once again how hardworking and hospitable the staff were. They consistently did their best to make guests feel comfortable with the resources they had available. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, from the receptionists and bar/restaurant staff to the housekeeping team and maintenance staff. However, I would not visit again.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The conditions were extremely poor and far below acceptable standards.

The room had visible mold, and there was a very strong smell of sewage and dampness throughout the room, especially in the bathroom. The smell was present every day and made our stay extremely unpleasant.

The towels were changed very rarely, and the cleaning was inadequate. Housekeeping seemed to consist only of quickly passing a wet mop over the floor with water, without proper cleaning or sanitizing. The bed linen was not changed regularly, and whenever we slept or sat on the bed, our skin became itchy. We experienced constant itching and a sensation of being bitten or pricked, which made us very uncomfortable.

The extra bed provided was completely unacceptable. It was extremely hard and uncomfortable, almost like sleeping on the floor. There was virtually no difference between sleeping on that bed and sleeping directly on the ground. It was not suitable for a child or an adult to sleep on comfortably.

Overall, the hotel was dirty, unhygienic, and poorly maintained. The strong smell of mold and sewage, the poor cleanliness, and the uncomfortable sleeping conditions made this one of the worst hotel experiences we have had. I would strongly advise others to avoid staying at this hotel.
