General Comments

I couldn't believe we stayed at the same hotel as the last review ... the Hotel Admiral is a 2 star hotel and VERY cheap, and you get, like everything in life, what you pay for. If you are polite to the staff, you get the same in return and with our party the staff were unfailingly friendly, helpful and polite. By the way, you switch the tv on from the switch marked "on/off" and choose channels by pressing "up/down channel" button - why you need to ask the staff!!!

Rooms are small but VERY clean, cleaned every day, bathrooms spotless, towels seemed as good as mine at home, and mine are nearly new. You never, or at least seldom, get shampoo etc at budget hotels abroad and while tea making facilities would be nice one can easily (as we did) take a travel kettle (supermarket very near to get tea bags)

Breakfast is, in my experience of budget hotels, very good, 3 diff kinds of cereal, cheese, ok not the gourmet kind but again it's a BUDGET hotel. Dinners are a bit basic to say the least, but there is plenty of it and it's all easy to request, and get an alternative of a good standard. I think it all depends if you are prepared to accept 2 star service at 2 star prices ... the people who demand 5 star service at 2 star prices are the ones who get up the staffs noses and prob get worse treatment as a result, (cant blame them)

Rooms can be noisy at night but good double glazing, or buy some ear plugs if you want windows open as the revellers go home late.

We loved it, expected what we paid for and got it ... will go again for sure with same local coach company Angela holidays
