    The ac in my room wasn't cold which I like a cold room. I never really saw anyone at the front desk my entire stay but can't really complain about that.

    Great location if you want to be around several restaurants and close to the beach. I consider it a beach hotel with a great location.

    The view

    The room was excellent, however the entrance could have been cleaner. There was a funny smell as well . We had the best view and all the amenities were there although not 5 star quite adequate.

    Weren't too keen on being asked to give a rating of 10 in return for a free breakfast before we'd even experienced the hotel. Feels a lot like bribery.

    No lift. Receptionist only there part of the time. Did not think much of the TV channels.

    Location is excellent. Bed was very comfortable. The room was very airy & bright. Lots of sunlight. The shower worked well . Wardrobe space and drawers were better than most hotels. Cold water and hot water with tea or coffee bags available in the lobby 24/7. There is a safe and a kettle.

    The common areas a shabby, and the entrance door probably can't be closed. I don't think it is dangerous but still ..

    There were no staff, not even a receptionist or concierge. The cleaner was most helpful, although she appeared to only speak Russian and broken English. I wasn't expecting her to speak English. I was in Israel, after all. However, she was the only person I saw in a 12-hour period who worked there; it is a hotel, and most Israelis I encounter speak English. I didn't look at the other 'facilities', but the reception was bare. The door to the balcony didn't close properly, and it was right on a main road, so the traffic might as well have been in the room. The windows were not double-glazed. I could hear every conversation in the hotel. The curtain opposite the bed did not go all the way down, so the city lights streamed in. The bed was rock hard. There was makeup all over the headboard. The sheet barely covered the mattress. There was no duvet. The pillows were more like cushions. The pillows did not have pillowcases. The floor was dirty. The towels were dirty. The bathmat was covered in filth and folded over. There were long hairs on the pillow. It was like someone had been hiking through the room, and they hadn't cleaned it. Except they had cleaned it as the bed was made and the towels were folded neatly. I managed to get a few hours of sleep with a face mask and earplugs and was fully clothed. I slept on a t-shirt covering the grotty pillow. The following day, the cleaner called the Manager, and even though he said he could put me in another room, the damage was done. To his credit, he refunded me the total amount. I had even offered to pay the first night as I had technically 'slept' there. He did ask me not to leave a review, but if I don't, other people will fall into this trap, and the hotel will do nothing to improve. I've stayed in far better hostels. They were undoubtedly cleaner and had staff. Booking.com should have 'secret shoppers' to review every hotel they list.

    The shower gave out water. The lights worked. The location was right opposite the beach. It was also opposite the Renaissance, which I had to check into because this hotel was so shambolic.

    Nobody at the reception, not the cleanest, secured place.

    Once upon a time a nice/design place. Time has passed and a refresher is soon required. Nobody at the reception most of the time. Empty lobby. Rooftop terrasse with a jacuzzi which we did not used. Noisy when facing the see with the road in between. Nice location for a morning run, going to the beach or having a restaurant.

    everything is very bad. Most importantly, the keys to the room did not work. no one answered the calls, we lived on the street. I don't know how to pick up my things and catch the plane.

    the worst hotel in my life! there is no service. no hair dryer. no foot towels. room keys are demagnetized. there is no one at the reception after 19:00. no one to call. we slept outside! Everything in the room is barely holding up. very cheap interior. The water from the shower pours into the entire bath. sea view rooms but they are near a noisy road and face the road. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.
