GF Fanabe

"Just returned from a 5 night stay at the GF Fanabe hotel. This was our second stay and we again enjoyed it very much. Reception staff are extremely helpful and polite and the cleaning staff and restaurant staff all work very hard. We were bed and breakfast only as we prefer to go out to eat at night, we had no concerns with the availability or quality of the food although it could have been hotter at times 🙁. Entertainment when we returned at night was ok in the hotel. Rooms were cleaned each day, towels changed etc. No kettle or iron in room. The noise from the karaoke bar across the road goes on until midnight, didn’t really bother us too much but be aware if you like an early night. Overall a pleasant trip and we would probably return in the future."

"We spent two weeks in a junior suite. We had asked for a quiet room, and got one on second floor, number 293 a corner suite with a very big balcony. The bathroom had a jacuzzi but no proper shower. That was a big problem. We are older people and it was very difficult to ´climb´to the jacuzzi. Our cleaning woman was really good. I asked her name and it started with Y, but was a bit difficult , so I have forgotten it. The breakfast was also very good but the room is very big and noisy. Unfortunately the cloth they use to wipe the tables should be washed or changed more often because it left a bad smell to the table."

"Have stayed before for over 10 years it probably should be a 3 star again . Will never do half board again the food in the evening is awful . Rooms and exterior are very dated although mostly clean . Staff at restaurant reception are extremely rude i note this from other reviews too so should be addresses especially the older lady with glasses and coloured hair . The cleaners could teach the other staff some manners . Breakfast is just ok but the restaurant was always full of uncleared filthy tables and staff very annoyed if they were asked to clean . The staff in Wetherspoons do a better job and this is supposed to be 4 star. Toasters at breakfast were broken and didn’t toast . After 2 attempts we stopped eating in the hotel and eat out at evenings plenty of places close by . We had a very noisy room at the back above a staff and rear entrance wakened at 4am with bins everyday we complained to TUI and never heard anything for a week when we were offered a change 2 days before going home . Staff including chefs stand out here shouting swearing arguing and on mobiles lots of smoking. One evening one was out in his kitchen uniform smoking and constantly scratching his genitalia . Big queue for sunbeds at 9am - doors are locked . Sone guests give the workers up here money for early access . Overall after being a guest for over 10 years an extremely poor tired place with horrible food in a good location. If you doubt this see my great review of las dalias earlier this year and check the other similar reviews . Do not book theres plenty more better hotels."
