The room was far too large. The bed was cheap and I was unable to sleep in it as it made my back ache. The duvet was too small for the bed and the pillow cases were old and worn. They say they provide a complimentary continental breakfast but it was only toast, packet jams, low fat yoghurt, juices and tea or coffee in flasks. Wouldn't recommend this 'hotel'.

Not for me!

Room at back of hotel - noisy air con outside, lights on all night outside shines in room through inadequate curtains. Scary stairs to ground floor - no hand rail on bottom flight. Poor breakfast even if complimentary- shower good! View to sheer cliff or adjacent hotel rooms.

Value for money Penta stay

Great hotel for a break with plenty of buses stopping outside if you don’t fancy the fantastic 20 minute walk along the promenade to the City Centre. Bus from the airport No2 stopped outside the hotel which was a bonus

The Penta is a nice, reasonably priced hotel across from the beach. We stayed in room 19, which is considered a ‘large twin’. We didn’t have a view, but the room was spacious,quiet, clean and well maintained. I would warn those with mobility issues that the tub is high and may be difficult to climb out. The free Breakfast was simple but it was all we needed: cereal, toast , juice, coffee and tea. Although there were only a few restaurants close by, we liked the Chinese restaurant next to the casino. The bus stop is across the street, allowing us to get all over the island without difficulty. We highly recommend the Penta.

Well located budget hotel with friendly and efficient staff. The room was very stuffy and airless and the “continental” breakfast was really just some cereals and toast. But a good location.

This is a rundown hotel with good cleanliness. During our stay, it had ongoing building work. There was scaffolding outside, not only blocking the sea view but also posing safety concerns. However, the hotel did not disclose this condition and still charged for the non-existent 'sea view.' Based on this, I can't trust this hotel chain.
