Jo An Palace

  : Nice, modern hotel with excellent facilities and very clean. (Lobby toilets need more attention, though). Also, right in the heart of the town, within walking distance from the old port area
  : Lack of on-site parking. Municipality car parks refused to let us in, as there was a Market happening the following morning. The hotel staff, though, were kind enough to hold a space for us on the street in front of the hotel as soon as a spot emptied.

  : In an ideal location close to the old town. There were 3 singles sharing a room and the hotel kindly put an extra bed in the room rather than a sofa bed. The beds were comfortable.
  : The room was poorly designed with the only mirror being in the bathroom. The lighting in the bathroom is subdued and insufficient to apply make up. It would be helpful to have some hooks dotted around. The hotel gave us all a towelling robe however nowhere to hang it. Some instructions on how to use the lighting panel would be helpful. A light is needed to illuminate the panel in the night time to find the light for the bathroom. Our room wasn't cleaned for 2 days because we had not illuminated the correct indicator (who knew?). A visit to the pool area was slightly marred by music that couldn't be turned off, not conducive if you want to read. Also sorry to be so negative but there was nowhere to rinse and dry your swimwear.

  : The Jo Ann Palace has definitely had a facelift and is a very comfortable hotel to stay in. Entry to the room is via a tap /contactless key-card to a panel on the wall, which immediately gave a sense of security. A light on the external door panel shows that you are in the room, which means we never got cleaning staff knocking on our door. The beds were comfortable, there is good storage and there is a good range of television channels in various languages that service the many international customers they serve. The staff were all very friendly and efficient in every department.
  : The air conditioning had only one speed - full on! Otherwise it was a very comfortable stay.

  : The hotel was in a great location to access the old town, the beaches to the east of the town and the main bus station (if you want to travel further afield). The decor was modern and had that boutique hotel feel, without having to pay a premium price. A buffet breakfast is served in the hotel restaurant and offers an excellent range of hot and cold food and beverages. The neighborhood around the hotel has some nice cafes and bars and it's only a short walk into the old town which has a good mix of shopping and eating places.
  : Travelling solo meant my room was smaller than average, although it had all the facilities and a centralised controller for lighting and climate control. My only complaint is that the tiled surfaces on the corridors are noisy. Late one night, I was disturbed by the footfall and wheelie case noise made by a group of travellers.
