Mosaico Hotel

I booked a room with multiple beds because it was me and another lady. Got there and they had downgraded us to a single bed. For those that don’t know these are more like full beds than queen. She said she was very sorry but they had an issue with their reservation program and asked if we still wanted it…I asked if she had an additional room available…she said no it was sold out…did we want…well we need someplace to sleep. This room was so small I sat in the closet until the other lady got in bed because we couldn’t move around the room at the same time. When it was my turn to get ready for bed I noticed there was only 1 towel. I go to the lobby, it’s a man now, and ask for another towel. He says your room is for 1 person so you only get 1 towel!! I said then why did YOU put 2 people in it…showed him my reservation but it did no good! I went outside to calm down and a family with 2 small children walked in and were turned away too!! Overbooked and don’t care at all!!

I booked the room because the hotel was across the train station not knowing that the property owns several buildings around. We had to walk another mile from the main building and the receptionist made us believe that the apartment was behindthe main building. The area looked creepy and was not safe for pedestrians with many cars passing (we had to cross many streets), and not convenient when walking with luggage.The apartment was large but extremely outdated and old. No coffee maker ,no coffee, tea, and the air-conditioner was only good for the living room. We wanted to have breakfast in the main building and were told by the receptionist that because they are fully booked, and because we booked an apartment can not be accomodated. This was not mentioned when booking. I can say that this was the worst experience for my family ever and we have traveled the world.

My family really liked this property. We stayed at Residence Mosaic which means we had a full apartment to ourselves. But thankfully we had a car because it was about a ten minute walk away from the check in desk and we arrived well after dark. The main hotel is located very close to the train/bus station which is probably why it felt unsafe. From the apartment, low cost transfer to the cruise terminal was challenging for our party of 6. The shuttle advertised at the hotel was 20 euro/person. Royal Carribean had a shuttle for $10/person. However, we’d turned in our car and, for both of these options, the walk with our luggage was too difficult for some of our party. There’s a bus stop nearby the residence but it was closed on Sundays. We were about to call a taxi when the groundskeeper offered to drive us for less than 20 euro total! These comments are based on us staying in the apartment as opposed to the hotel. The Royal Carribean shuttle is close to the main hotel. Overall, I’d recommend this place. It was great to have our whole party in one place with the two bedroom apartment and it was clean and a great price.
