We visited mid-december 2024 and give 4 stars because of the exeptional price-value ratio during our stay. We stayed in in more luxurious 5* hotels before, but paid there dubble the price of Limak Arcadia. But this attractive price-offer has also its downside: In Dutch ‘’tokkies’’ or chavs in English, who don’t know how to behave, populate this hotel. But first start with the hotel: There is no 5* deluxe admosphere. More a good 4* + . For the rest nothing wrong with it. It’s a very large property that requires huge effort to keep the terrain + buildings well maintained and spotless clean. What is at the expence of the champagne at breakfast, cloth towels in the lobby-toilet or an impressive foyer (because there is non of that). There is plenty of food though, but after a week we got tired of chicken and groundbeef in all its appearances. Midnight soup starts at 22:30 hrs. in winter season. There is a small spa, that’s opens till 19:00 hrs. We love spa, so we where happy that there’s one. Annoying factors in the spa are the tokkies / chavs, who enter the sauna in their sports apparel, not using a towel to sit on, leaving their sweat spot for you. Then they jump into the tiny pool (without taking a shower) and return to the sauna, to make a wett spot again because still no towel. They use their mobile telephone in the sauna, with the camera and loudspeaker switched on, so you can meet the rest of the chavs in Brixton. They bring glass-glasses in the spa (dangerous). But the ‘’Lifeguard’’ is too busy with his own telephone and doesn’t correct visitors at all. The chavs leave empty water bottles behind in the sauna and their towels at the stretchers, so it seems all are occupied. The chavs smoke inside the hotel building (without somebody correcting them). The chavs allso ruin a part of the 5* experience by that.
