Rahat Hotel in Nabran

Hello! I recently stayed at your hotel with my family. For the price, it's quite good, but I'd like to highlight its pros and cons.

Pros:
1. Beautiful.
2. Cozy.
3. Clean.
4. There's a pool.
5. There's a playground (not very big and not very clean, but acceptable).
6. Board games available.
7. Delicious pizza.
8. Cute dogs on the hotel grounds.
9. The hotel is literally a stone's throw from the sea.
10. Clean room.
11. I was pleased that they treat Muslim guests with respect: they even prepared halal sausages for me. That was very nice!

Cons:
1. The included food isn't very tasty. For breakfast and dinner, you have to eat only what's provided. For example, we were once served cutlets with noodles (the cutlet was rubbery and looked unappetizing). There was nothing sweet for breakfast except jam. It would have been better if they offered pancakes, scrambled eggs, salads, various cold cuts, and cheeses. The only good food we had was when we ordered separate meals (kebabs, chicken, French fries, pizza, etc.).
2. There's a nasty cat living on the hotel grounds. I'm a cat person myself and love animals, but this cat constantly rubbed against my legs and pestered me. Besides, she's nursing kittens, and who knows what bacteria she might be carrying. It was especially unpleasant when she attacked our pedigree cat, which we brought with us. We barely managed to separate them, and our cat ended up with a cut under his eye. It was absolutely terrifying!
3. There was a constant unpleasant smell of manure coming from the street, especially when the windows were open. 4. There were no proper hotel toiletries. Upon check-in, we found only a small amount of liquid soap, which was difficult to use, and no shampoo. This was important, considering we'd just come from the pool and the sea (chlorine and salt water).
5. The menu, which was posted on the board in the dining room, was missing many items. We wanted donuts, ice cream, something sweet (cookies, muffins), and for drinks, cappuccino, Americano, lungo, and supreme. But we were told they only had lattes. Instead, we were told to "go to the store across the street and buy some sweets ourselves." This was very disappointing.
6. On our last day, some guys approached us and invited us to participate in a musical entertainment game. Entry was 12 manat per person (children under 16 were free). We decided to go, but in the end, there was nothing to see: no music, no dancing, no karaoke. We were given a brochure and promised an evening event, but it didn't happen. This also disappointed us.
7. The portions are very small. For example, they served only eight pieces of chicken for eight people. A child needs at least two pieces to be full, let alone adults.

Result

The Rakhat Hotel is generally good, but it's not for everyone. Those who have stayed in five-star hotels will likely find it too modest and slightly disappointing. But overall, it's a good budget option for a family vacation. And most importantly, the sea is nearby, where you can sunbathe perfectly. 😉

The photos show food that we ordered separately and which was not included in the price of the stay.
