Reviews
Another extremely important detail is the fact that we stayed six days at this hotel, and the housekeepers cleaned the room only once — and that was because we asked them to. If we hadn’t asked, we would have stayed six days with no cleaning at all, which is unacceptable.
On another day, we needed to wake up early, and breakfast was supposed to be served starting at 7 a.m. We ended up without breakfast because we were waiting for our transfer, and there was no one available to assist us at the restaurant at 7 a.m., nor at the hotel reception. On that day, we were going to request room cleaning, but we couldn’t, because there was no one at the reception at 7 a.m.
And finally, communication was quite difficult because only one employee at the hotel speaks English. Overall, the staff was attentive, but there is one employee who is not friendly at all. I would not recommend this hotel and I would not return under any circumstances.
Friendly staff uou need to rent a car if you stay there
Need a major restoration
Upon arriving at the parking area, there were no clear or proper signs directing guests to the hotel lobby. We had to look around and wander before finally figuring out where to go, which was frustrating after a long trip.
The room itself was extremely small and visibly old, with worn fixtures that clearly haven’t been updated in years. On top of that, the water pressure from both the sink and the shower was extremely weak, making basic tasks uncomfortable and unpleasant.
To make matters worse, around 11:30 a.m., someone attempted to gain entry into our room. Thankfully, their key did not work, but the situation was alarming and made us feel unsafe. This incident only added to the overall discomfort of the stay.
Overall, the experience was deeply disappointing and far below expectations. I would not recommend this hotel and would not stay here again.
