My stay at the Lido Hotel was disappointing. While the location is convenient and the main hall appeared spacious, the overall cleanliness of my room was a concern. I experienced issues with dirty carpets and stained bed sheets, which made my stay quite uncomfortable.

I had a mixed experience at Lido Hotel. The food was fantastic and really gave you your money's worth, plus I loved the relaxing outdoor area by the pool. However, the WiFi could have been better, and the TV only had limited channels, which made streaming difficult. Overall, I had a decent stay but with some areas needing improvement.
