Reviews
We were a group of about 40 people, dirty rooms and dirty towels, bathrooms without shampoo and rooms with a non-functioning refrigerator....
Insufficient dinner and breakfast and poor quality!
We were deceived by a good view and received a negative feedback!!
Rude employee!
I remain disappointed!
I came as a group to visit Durres and I was left unsatisfied!
The service is very poor and not of the right quality...
The room without minimum conditions and very dirty!
Very disappointed with the look and what I got in exchange for the price I paid!
Clean room with new furniture. Parking in front of the hotel. Very convenient hotel for family vacation.
The owners would never greet us while coming in or leaving the hotel.
Firstly they wouldn't let us park our car in the hotel's parking let despite paying for the hotel ( in the description it was written that the parking is also included).
The breakfast was poor with no fresh fruits nor fresh meat or jam.
The room electricty was set to automatically turn off after the key (card) isn't in the room, so the fridge would turn off whenever we left the room, in conclusion our drinks that we kept in the fridge were never cold.
There was no hair dryer in the bathroom nor beach towels.
Housekeeping was unprofessional, they would come in our room without knocking and told us to leave the room because they had to clean in ( I guess they had no idea what "DO NOT DISTURB" means.
The price paid for this hotel was totally not worth it.
I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anybody.
