“Good for short stays”

Good for short stays and if you want to be near the beach and very calm area. The beach is located on the second line, meaning that from the hotel's Front Desk it takes you around 4-5 minutes to walk to the beach, the beach is free.

Good for short stays and if you want to be near the beach and very calm area. The beach is located on the second line, meaning that from the hotel's Front Desk it takes you around 4-5 minutes to walk to the beach, the beach is free. I visited this hotel 10-12th of February and couldn't swim in the beach because there was a red flag because of the small wind, meaning the life guard didn't allow people to even go inside the water, the only exception were children who were allowed to walk inside a few meters. The buffet breakfast is the worse I have ever tried (I have visited over 20 countries in my life), the omelette is good and the fruit salad was acceptable (not very good quality). The sausages, chicken nuggets and croquettes are of cheapest/horrible quality and surely full of chemicals. There was cold oatmeal or porridge with milk, which was very of very bad quality, which I couldn't eat. On the other hand, the buffet dinner was quite nice. Different meat options, good vegetable soup with meat and fruit salad was quite good too. Around 75% of the guests were from Russian speaking countries and 15-20% from India (and nearby countries). The staff were nice, but would have been nice to see staff from Russian speaking countries such as Russian, Ukraine and Belarus. Hopefully the property owners will not be so stingy in the future and will improve the worker's conditions, so that not only Indian (and of nearby countries) workers accept to work in this 3* hotel. I stayed in room 238 (standard) which had only 1 window which was overlooking the corridor and the people walking around the corridor, which is why I always had the curtains closed. So the only option to get fresh air was turning on the Air Conditioner, which is quite strong and you cannot really control as choosing level 1, 2 or 3 didn't make any difference. On the floor, near my room there was a tray with dirty plates and glasses, it was present near my neighbours room door when I arrived and when I departed 2 nights later. The rooms are clean, but do need renovation if they want continue being a 3* hotel. When I arrived I noticed there was no safe (even though there should be according to room's description). 15 minutes later a gentleman from maintenance came with a safe to my room, I asked him to attach it in the closet and not just leave the small safe laying around in the closet, he tried to attach it to the same place in the closet were the old safe was, but was not able to because holes were not compatible with this safe model. So I ended-up with a un-attached safe in the closet, which was better than nothing. The internet speed was 6 Mbit/s, which is fine for a 3* hotel.

I arrived at the hotel around 21.00 I was given a room that stunk of cigarettes I told the receptionist who was helpful he changed my room straight away however the ac was so loud I could hardly sleep, in the bathroom the hairdryer was faulty and was kept switched on, I told the receptionist again in the morning. he sent someone to check, the guy said it was the fan and the hairdryer was faulty.
