Enjoy Garda Hotel

The hotel was great in many aspects, checking were very polite and helpful, I got good recommendations for things to do on the day we arrived, and also on places to visit within the near walking distance. Rooms were comfortable and spacious (for European standards), breakfast was great and the location was very convenient, aside from being across the road from a live music Latin restaurant which was a bit loud even inside the rooms at hours past ten pm.

The hotel had this pamphlet inside the room which I have never seen before, it was basically a price list for damaged items in the room, including equipment & furniture, it was very intimidating to be advised that a staff member would be inspecting the room prior to your departure to assess the damages (regardless weather that inspection actually happened or not). I did not feel welcomed or the genuine hospitality I expect from a four star hotel which is one of the highest rated in its vicinity. I mean why would I need to be warned that damaging the TV would set me down by EUR 500? or that and deep cleaning of the duvet Cover would cost me EUR 50? I don't know about other guests, but I certainly felt offended. Same thing goes for the pool towels, which were set in the room with a note stating that (not literally, but something like:) these are the only sets of pool towels you will get during your stay, so take care of them! there seems to be an attitude issue with the written notes and how their communication was delivered.
