Review of Golden Tulip Vivaldi Hotel

I must start with saying is an nice hotel and good...

I must start with saying is an nice hotel and good value with a special deal.
The view from our room is fabulous, and it's a fantastic panorama of the sea and the hotel is situated in a rather quiet area. There are lots of constructions going on currently but I believe it's like this almost everywhere.

However the ambitions seems to be higher and even if it was, it's not really a 4 star hotel anymore.
The hotel is getting worn and to take a few examples, the bathroom was pathed with silicon, the towel is probably clean but stained. the sofa was worn out and the fabric ripped. The fridge works but not very well. The AC cannot be controlled by a seasoned programmer like me, and the room is quite warm especially 04am when the AC seems to save power.

The breakfast is ok. Some variety, but I miss a lot like fresh fruits (not only apples),, better variety on musli, and much more healthy options for everything, including bread etc.
I would expect the juices to be natural and fresh, but its made from concentrate and sweetened.

The indoor pool area is nice. The Jacuzzi only worked at 50% and you need to book the sauna in advance, or it's cold. This area also has a fitness center I didn't use this time, but it looked ok. The pool at the rooftop is ok but not very big (10X6m).

The staff are polite but not very engaged.

With aligned expectations this is a nice stay!
