Matkat – Sidi Ahmed Ou Abdallah

Excellent séjour j ai bien aimé

Excellent hotel and Service

Unfortunately, our experience at the Pickalbatros Palais des Roses was extremely disappointing, especially as this was meant to be a special stay around my birthday. We paid for an ocean-view room but were initially given a pool-view room. Reception was unhelpful, and even transferring our luggage was unnecessarily delayed. The room had several issues, including soiled towels, no Wi-Fi and significant construction noise directly outside, including work around a lift shaft. We were eventually moved, but the replacement room had faulty air conditioning. What should have been a relaxing stay became a series of complaints and room changes. Most disappointing was how our concerns were handled. Some staff interactions felt rude and condescending rather than helpful. Eventually, the situation deteriorated to the point where we were effectively told to leave. We left at around 00:15 after only one full night, despite booking a longer stay. We then had to arrange alternative accommodation ourselves and pay an additional £26.34 in city tax. I understand that problems happen, but it is how they are handled that matters. The incorrect room, poor conditions, lack of Wi-Fi, construction noise, faulty air conditioning and poor complaint handling made the experience unacceptable. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this hotel.
