Hotel RH Gijón — Hotel in Gandia

Spent a week there with my husband and my young daughter. We paid for all three meals that does not include any drinks. The Spanish tables were served tap water in a jug. We were only offered bottled water for a fee.|The wine is cheap and not very nice so don’t bother paying for it. The food is ok but the selection is very limited and if you are a vegetarian you could easily end up not eating much. ||Service was very average and they don’t speak English. In fact, they make it clear that they look at you as a walking wallet and have no time and respect for you. ||We got the smallest room in the hotel while it was rather empty. The view was to the next door neighbour’s bathroom window combined with the view of a dirty backstreet. ||The room was clean and the cleaner greeted us with a smile. That was nice. ||The pools are tiny and the “spa” means that you have a steam room. The gym is a joke and the hotel lounge seats are uncomfortable. |The hotel entertainment is unbearable. |The roof top bar is actually really nice and they play lovely live music and the view is spectacular.||By the time you add up all costs, you are better off going 4star all inclusive...

I genuinely do not understand the great reviews about this hotel. We booked for 3 nights and left after one - no questions were asked and they'd only taken pay for on night when we arrived, which we thought was odd, but in hindsight it looks like people often don't stay. The rooms were tatty and tired, there was hardly any choice on the buffet and we had to fight the crowds to get near it - what hot food there was, was coming out of the kitchen cold anyway! Only one lift working to service 12 floors - you can imagine meal times and bar closing time. They'd even confiscated the bath plugs so you could only have a shower. Paid extra for a 'sea view', which looked amazing in the brochure, but in reality it really wasn't - this hotel is second line, not beach front as the brochure photos would suggest. Checked out 2 days early and headed to...

Extremely friendly staff (all staff members: reception (all of them very kind and friendly), restaurant (special thanks to Jesus!!), entertainment, cleanliness). ||Good value for money||Perfect location (50 m to the beach!!)||Quiet rooms with very nice view (room 607 has a huge terrace and sea view)||Plenty assortments of dishes at the breakfast and dinner||||Very few vegetables at the breakfast (only one fresh tomato sauce). Would it be great to add also some salads, cucumbers; we truly missed them. We liked the salami assortments at the breakfast but missed the your traditional Spanish jamon in the morning. ||Fish could be less cooked as it was a bit dry for my taste. ||As you can see they are minor observations, simply added to improve services. If returning in the region for sure we will come back to stay...
