I don’t recommend this property - the bathroom was not clean, we found dirty socks near the curtains, the door card reader was reading that needs housecleaning service (it was in red) but the front desk told us it should be like this. On top of it the morning of the check out someone enter our room (not a housekeeper I think it was a guest of the hotel) while we were trying to leave. Absolute disappointment. The hotel has plenty of good rated restaurant we wanted to try. The coffee bar/garden area didn’t seem to welcome anyone and made us feel uncomfortable. Not knowing what type of espresso they serve, not knowing what desserts they offer, and served us warm water - 10 min later the ice came but it wasn’t needed anymore. The Italian restaurant was good - atmosphere great, cocktails very presentable, food was just ok. I’ll be contacting the manager of the hotel to address my complains about the stay itself.

Ok nothing special!

First we got scammed by the taxi driver from the airport, he charge triple price from airport to hotel. We told the receptionist about the story, and she said we had to pay 8 Lev for city tax, are you sure about that I said ? And she said yes, a nice lady in check in. Have her a 20 bill, and got 10 back??!! And I said this is not right ? Well she didn’t got any coins?? First told about the taxi driver, and then the receptionist is doing the same thing?? Really bad experience!! Suddenly she had coins! Hotel is good, nothing special - breakfast is ok! Staff is more into checking private phones than doing service, at breakfast. Also the bar tender didn’t have coins, so he got 4 Lev in tips, even a tip is something a guest gives for good service, this guy just took it. The people in charge of this place should provide staff with coins - it gives a bad picture of the whole experience been a guest there!

I went to check in and the staff member asked me for my ID. I gave her my military ID, she scanned it and I guess the scan did not work and she asked me for another ID. I gave her my driver’s license. She scanned it and apparently the system did not take it either. So she asked for my passport. As a Soldier we don’t have to travel with passports we travel on our orders. So I told her I did not have a passport for her. She start yelling and arguing with me about the ID. I politely tell her that I have two IDs which is more than most Americans. I can not help that her system is not accepting them. She stated she would have to register me under her name but I had to get out first thing in the morning. I told her absolutely not and to get me the manager. Which she did not do. Eventually she gave me the key to the room. When I got to the room, the bed was unmade, urine was in the toilet and there was a cup of coffee there. I went back down to the desk and showed her pictures of the room she sent me too. She then gave me a new room key with a discount card for a massage. She never apologized for her behavior. The next morning I came down and requested and extension to stay in the room because my meeting was going to go over, the gentleman at the desk said I was good to stay until 2pm. Housekeeping shows up at noon and says they thought I checked out. So I just left. I would not recommend using this hotel unless you have a passport.

This was the worst hotel I have been to in years. My room phone 1624 was not working for the whole 5 days I stayed there. I could order anything from the room. If I needed anything from toothpicks to an emergency kit, I had to go downstairs from the 16th floor. I reported it every single day, sometimes twice a day. They wrote it down on papers and never did anything about it, like never. It was the worst trip and stay asides the gym facility and friend staff that bit was terrible considering I paid more than $1k for 5 nights in a junior suite that was broken. The hotel is not worth it at all.

Disliked: Staff & service

The public areas are lavish but service levels for a 5 star international hotel were dreadful. It felt like a load of concessions rather than a joined up business. I was told I couldn’t sit in the bar area by the spa as I had bought my drink at another bar. That’s absurd. A few weeks of training could solve a lot of the problems.
