This was our 4th visit to Hotel Velamar. It has changed a little since we last came, noticebly the bar/lounge area seems to have been refurbished and extended. There was also live music 3 evenings a week, plus an enhanced evening snack menu. There is a small alcove showing sports on a large screen TV
The breakfast is
quite varied and plentiful every day. Fresh eggs are available to order from the staff.
We had an initial issue with our allocated room which was not available to us on check-in meaning we had to stay the first night of our stay in a different, lower standard room, and then transfer all our belongings to a new room the following day.
As compensation, we were given a voucher for a free Tapas each (worth €6) which I thought was a bit mean considering the inconvenience we had been subjected to. It was never explained to us exactly why our booked room wasn't available to us at check in, as we had made our reservation sone size months ago.
After moving rooms, we had our allocated Balcony room, however the bathroom was quite small, though the bed was huge and very comfortable. The balcony overlooked the road and was noisy some times, but caught the sun all day.
The room has air conditioning, but the unit is located over the bed, which means that during the night it gets quite cold if you have it on, and as it was still quite warm in October, it was too hot in the room without it.
Everything was clean, and the room was as serviced every day.
