Hotel Alay

Carol Broadhurst

The staff were all delightful. The room was good, but as others have stated on the reviews, more shelves would be helpful (may be above the safe in the wardrobe for example?). I would have also liked there to have been two doors on the sliding wardrobe in place, staring at myself in the mirror & the clothes on view or looking at safe & mini fridge & clothes covered by the mirror door isn’t very appealing either. I was able to requested an iron & ironing board to use & both were clean & looked reasonably new. I believe you can also request a kettle, but i brought my travel one in case they didn’t have any available. Restaurant: More like a canteen with bright lights okay at breakfast, but no atmosphere in the evenings, other than being very noisy, & I’m partially deaf! Breakfast was adequate & was more or less the same most mornings, you soon worked out what you liked etc. They also provide paper cups for you to take away a coffee/tea at breakfast time. Dinner was rather repetitive over a week & the food dries out really quickly under the heated lamps (the fish in particular). The “green vegetables “ always looked way over cooked & unappealing to me. Good selection of cheese, fruit & nuts if you don’t wish to eat the various sweet desserts & they do have some basic ice creams in little tubs in chiller, but as I don’t eat this so i can’t say if it was any good. No coffee served in the restaurant in the evening.

Beautiful hotel, lovely ambience. Could do with a kettle in the room but can’t fault the room other than that. Food was nice but more vegetables could be added to the menu, but plenty of it, so no qualms there. Staff were lovely apart from one lady in the restaurant who was very loud and unapproachable. The rest were great. Would recommend.

Good location for shops and marina. Lovely rooms and comfortable beds. Great breakfast. Had to buy a rubber bath mat as the shower seemed quite slippery when wet. The only downside was the building site next door and the shouting and banging at 7.30am every morning.

On arrival I was greeted by friendly, helpful staff. My room was spotlessly clean,and was kept so throughout my stay In the restaurant there was plenty of choice,and the staff were friendly and helpful. Drinks in the bar,on the expensive side but only to be expected in a hotel. I would recommend this adults only hotel very highly, and would not hesitate to return some day.

My partner and I cannot fault the Hotel Alay. Our room and Bathroom were spacious and very clean with large wardrobe, wide screen TV and a very comfortable bed. The hotel itself was was very contemporary and up to date with its décor and facilities. The staff were very polite and helpful. We chose to have breakfast at the hotel and were very surprised to be offered such a wide selection of good quality food. The restaurant is very clean and spacious. With regards to its location you are literally five minutes from the beach, the high street and the marina where there are a large selection of good quality restaurants. As I said we could not fault this hotel and after enjoying one of the most relaxing holidays we have had in a long time, I would fully recommend the Hotel Alay to anyone.
