Paying for cheaper hotel Villa Toscany you can still use facilities across the road sauna, swimming etc. which is great. Good location. I do struggle to find information on Expedia website that check in for Villa Toscany needs to be done in Royal plaza across the road if I knew it from begging would be more helpful.

The hotel was fine - we’ve stayed in much better 3* hotels on our trip, but this was fine. You get access to the facilities in a 5* hotel opposite which is great.

The spa was very average - not 5* quality, but since this was a 3* hotel it was nice to have

Our initial room was BOILING hot, and there was no AC. The staff kindly moved us to an available room which had AC, but since it was one of the hottest days of the year and an AC room was available we shouldn’t really have had to ask for that.

Overall it’s fine, probably wouldn’t stay again

Villa Toscane is advertised as an independent hotel but it is not. A hotel opposite Villa Toscane manages it. That hotel (Royal Plaza Hotel) does not tell customers the facts until the customer reaches Villa Toscane, where on a corner there is an inconspicuous sign that asks the customer to register at Royal Plaza. This is a bait-and-switch technique or at least a false representation that should be reported to authorities. There is no reception, bell captain, or any other staff besides the cleaning staff at Villa Toscane. The Royal Plaza Hotel staff are rude and unhelpful.

There was a strong marijuana smell on my last night’s stay with doors slamming at 4-5am. I liked the pool, sauna and hot tub you can use … in the hotel across the street. It is on the bus line. I would not stay here again for free.

We loved the location, view, ease of access to bus, breakfast, and swimming pool. Staff was very friendly. We stayed two nights. Our room was advertised as having air conditioning, but the first night the AC was broken and they were unable to fix it or change our rooms. Given the cost to stay, we thought they might offer compensation (free breakfast) or small discount, but they did not. However, they did move us the second night to a room with AC, and then we were able to sleep well. Overall, we loved everything about this hotel except the broken AC.

There was NO bellman and I was put in a tiny room up a flight of stairs not accessible by the lift. The carpets are dirty, the paint is peeling, and the hotel is on a very very noisy street.
