Cerca de la playa...

Cons:

Demasiado ruido,, las instalaciones son muy rústicas, el colchón creo que ya pasó su tiempo de caducidad y el desayuno terrible.

No volvería
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

El baño no bajaba y el lavamanos no se podia usar porque se hacía un charco en el baño
La piscina es peligrosa me corté el pie
Dice que ofrece cocina compartida y uno llega y dicen que no hay, se puso mala la comida que llevábamos

Pros:

Very close to the beach, cheapest option in Samara that close to the beach which is nice. Nice courtyard with a hammock. Didn’t use the pool but nice to have and nice that breakfast is included.

Cons:

Very small basic room fully exposed concrete and rebar on the windows, kind of felt like being in a prison cell. Also on quite a loud road. Also we weren’t allowed to use the kitchen for storing stuff in the fridge which was strange. Overall for $60 usd not sure if it’s worth it.
