The breakfast experience at Hotel Victoria is frequently lauded with many guests enjoying the freshly cooked, tasty and plentiful options. The variety and quality of the offerings, along with the friendly and attentive breakfast staff, contribute significantly to a warm and inviting dining atmosphere. However, there are sporadic critiques about the inclusion of pastries, fresh fruits and the temperature and portion size of the food, though these do not overwhelmingly detract from the positive reviews.

It is particularly appreciated by families and those seeking relaxation after a busy day with the admirable maintenance of the pool area further enhancing the overall guest experience.

Positive reviews emphasize new, comfortable beds, but numerous complaints point to issues with the beds being uncomfortable, small, noisy or outdated, affecting overall sleep quality for some guests.

Conversely, room quality is a notable area for improvement. Many guests report that rooms are small, lack ventilation and require better upkeep with furnishings described as old and mismatched. Cleanliness is a recurring issue with reports of dirty bathrooms, stained mattresses, dusty rooms and overall inconsistent cleaning standards. Maintenance concerns include outdated plumbing and exposed wiring, detracting from the comfort and safety of the accommodations.

In summary, Hotel Victoria shines with its strategic location, commendable breakfast offerings, inviting outdoor pool and mostly friendly staff.

The friendliness and attentiveness of the breakfast staff are often noted with specific mentions of their exceptional service and helpfulness. This adds a warm and inviting atmosphere to the breakfast experience.

While the majority of reviews are positive, some guests have pointed out areas for improvement, such as the need for pastries or fresh fruits.

Despite these few criticisms, the general consensus is that the breakfast at Hotel Victoria is a significant highlight, often described as delicious, lovely and great value for money. The staff members serving breakfast are considered a particular asset to the hotel's dining experience.

Rooms
Hotel Victoria's rooms mostly receive feedback for being very small with some guests noting a lack of ventilation and limited space even for basic amenities. While beds are highlighted as brand new and comfortable, other aspects of the room often fall short. Cleanliness appears inconsistent; some rooms are praised for being very clean, while others are described as dirty or in need of a good scrub.

The décor and furniture in the rooms are generally considered old and mismatched, often bearing scratches and signs of wear. Maintenance issues are also mentioned with some rooms reported to have outdated plumbing, chipped furniture and even exposed cables.

Despite these drawbacks, a few positives were noted: rooms typically had necessary basics, such as en-suite showers and toilets, albeit in cramped conditions and some guests appreciated the presence of an outdoor pool. The hotel staff, particularly those involved in breakfast service, were commented on positively for their friendliness and politeness.

Overall, while the rooms at Hotel Victoria deliver on basic needs, they are generally small, dated and could benefit from better upkeep and modernization.

Beds
Hotel Victoria offers a mixed experience when it comes to their beds, as reflected by guest reviews. Positively, many guests noted that the beds were comfortable and provided a good night's sleep. Phrases like "comfortable bed," "very comfortable bed," and "comfy beds" were common with several guests also highlighting the cleanliness of the bed linens. New beds with clean linen were appreciated, adding a sense of freshness to the accommodation.

Nevertheless, numerous reviews pointed out significant drawbacks. Issues ranged from beds being described as uncomfortable, very small or squeaky to severe complaints about hard mattresses, visible damages and the presence of old or lumpy pillows. Some guests even found that the mattresses were upside down to cover damages or that they were very noisy, making sleep difficult. Several reviews mentioned the bedding and bed frames as outdated, uncomfortable or even squeaky, detracting from the overall sleep experience.

The feedback about the beds at Hotel Victoria varies greatly, suggesting that while some guests may have enjoyed a restful sleep, others encountered multiple issues that marred their stay.

Cleanliness
Despite its prime beachfront location, Hotel Victoria struggles significantly with cleanliness standards. Reviews highlight a range of issues, from stained bedding and dirty bathrooms to dated and mismatched furniture. Common complaints include unclean towels, dusty rooms and unpleasant odors. Guests noted specific problems such as dirty shower curtains, mold in the showers and long hair left behind by previous occupants. Some areas like the poolside were described as shabby, adding to the overall tired appearance of the hotel.

Although a few guests mentioned that their rooms were cleaned daily, it seems that the level of cleanliness was inconsistent and often inadequate. Prominent issues like stained mattresses, uncleaned floors and visible dirt on walls were frequently reported. Disappointingly, even basic cleanliness measures, such as dusting and washing the bathroom surfaces, were notably missing with some guests having to clean their rooms themselves upon arrival.

Overall, the reviews indicate that Hotel Victoria is in urgent need of deep cleaning and better maintenance to meet guests' expectations.

Particularly praised were individuals like the breakfast server and the lady in charge, adding a personal touch to their stay.

However, some reviews pointed out inconsistencies, particularly at the reception. A few guests found the reception staff unprofessional, grumpy or outright rude with specific mentions of staff not being very talkative or unhelpful.
