Without exaggeration, the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The ceilings, walls are dirty, there is mold on some walls. They gave us a room with a view of some kind of electrical tower. The air conditioning is in terrible condition. When working, it made terrible sounds that interfered with sleep, water periodically poured from it and it did not respond to the remote control, it spontaneously opened and closed. Apparently the air conditioner had not been serviced for several years. The curtain in the bathroom is already black with dirt. Honestly, I don’t understand how it’s possible to run a number like that, at least wash it, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. We only stayed for a couple of days, so we gritted our teeth and just came to spend the night; it’s good that we had a wonderful hotel booked next. But if they sold us a tour for a couple of weeks to such a hotel, our vacation would be ruined. It's clearly time to close this hotel for renovation. The beach closest to the hotel is also far from the best, so I can’t give a high rating to the location. The only positive thing is the street with good cafes, but again they are not close, it takes about 15 minutes to walk to them.

The room is terrible. The bathroom was old. The room smells very musty. The dust under the bed and on the refrigerator was clearly visible. Wipe it off immediately.

Trip with anex tour. This hotel was suggested.1. The staff is friendly and responsive2. The room is a very old hotel; The condition of the room (vip) is dirty, there are layers of dust everywhere (bedside tables, under the beds, chest of drawers, tray with cups, etc.)3. Bedding and towels had to be changed every day (promised at the reception upon arrival), but in 10 days they were changed 2 times. The towels are torn and old! Just awful! It seems like they changed it, but there is no feeling of a fresh towel. It’s as if they just dried it without washing it and brought it in. The mattress and pillows are very hard.4. The water in the bathroom is always hot; Shampoo and shower gel are provided (minimum).5. On the plus side, it is located next to the beach.6. Breakfast is the norm7. Swimming pool - the water is clean, chlorine is not felt 👌

I like the rooms towards the green area. Very quiet. Stayed a couple of nights for work and paid 800 per night. Affordable.

The hotel deteriorated after the coronavirus; breakfast was included, but they didn’t want to serve breakfast until it was brought to us and they didn’t show us the documents. The beach is still good otherwise. …

The hotel is located in a Happy Massage Street, not confortable if you don’t like that kind of service. Also the staff doesn’t speak English so every time we tried to make an inquiry they would hang off the phone without even trying to understand or communicate.The sheets had suspicious stains (blood).
