Common criticisms

Cultural Atmosphere

Several guests felt that the hotel catered predominantly to German and Russian tourists, which affected the overall atmosphere. English guests noted a lack of familiar cultural elements, such as an English breakfast, and felt outnumbered. One guest remarked, "They ought to have a sign above the door Alba Royal (GERMANS ONLY)".

Bed Comfort

The comfort of the beds was a common issue, with guests describing them as very hard. This discomfort was compounded by the fact that some rooms had two single beds pushed together, which often came apart. Guests suggested that the hotel could improve by providing softer bedding options.

Smoking Policy

The hotel's smoking policy was a point of contention for non-smoking guests. Smoking was allowed in many areas, which some guests found unpleasant. This policy detracted from the experience for those who preferred a smoke-free environment, leading to discomfort and dissatisfaction.
