Egyhangú reggeli , az éttermi személyzet elég morcos
DE a kávé nagyon finom 😉

Prepare cash and euros only
Pros:

The location is good. Nice beach right across the pedestrian path. More than enough sun beds for everyone. Enough space between neighbour sun beds. A wonderful seaside. Quite close to different shops and restaurants. Very clean room and the whole hotel area.

Cons:

There are two things that for me personally strikes almost every advantage. The breakfast room is just made of a former hotel room, which is not designed to cook in, especially for that amount of people. The cooking ladies were very helpful and nice, but the cooking area was completely open, that’s why the odour of burns sausages could be smelled everywhere for the half of the day. Your could also see your breakfast being prepared with no gloves on. The worst thing is that you are made to pay in cash on your arrival, which is, you would learn, is the normal thing in Albania. But we were forced to pay in euro and it’s not a local currency!!! So we had to convert pounds into local currency and then convert it into euro. It means that we ended paying more. I understand that the cash is preferable. But I think I need to have a choice to pay in the local currency. Few other things: it’s actually quite far from Durres city centre and all amenities. All those reviews about a shower not having a curtain are correct and there will be water in your bathroom all the time. I do not really understand that.

Nem jó
Pros:

azon kivul hogy 3 kozul az egyik szoba a tengerre nezett semmi.

Cons:

Teljesen más képek vannak a hirdetésben, mint a valóság. A szobák lelakottak, dohányszagúak. A fürdő koszos. Éjszaka egyik oldalról az autópálya zaját hallani, a másik oldalról, ami a tenger felé néz, a szoba ajtókat nem lehet rendesen becsukni (szorulnak) ennek a következménye, hogy egész éjszaka az ajtócsapkodást és az éjjel érkező vendégek zajait hallgattuk. A reggeliző nagyon kicsi, zsúfolt, nem lehet rendesen elférni.
Összességében nagyon átverésnek éreztük az egészet. Egy éjszakát szálltunk meg, de nem ajánljuk ezt a hotelt

Na 1 noc okej , ale nie więcej .
Pros:

Ogólnie w hotelu oprócz ładnego widoku i widoku na plażę i może nic fajnego nie ma . Stary hotel który potrzebuje remontu. Śniadania średnie : bułeczki , parówki , jaja , trochę owoców i stary ekspres press.
Wielki plus pracownikom recepcji którzy są bardzo mili i pomocne . Udzielili wszelkich informacji i pozwolili skorygować godziny zameldowania . Byliśmy 1 noc , więc do przeżycia , ale więcej nie chciałabym tam zostać

Cons:

Stary remont . Ledwo działająca klima , średnie śniadanie .

Nem a legjobb választásunk volt az eddigiekhez képest!
Pros:

Tágas szoba és erkély, közel volt minden ( part,boltok,éttermek) ingyenes napozó ágyak! 😊

Cons:

Koszos ágynemű, kilógó konnektorok, koszos büdös klíma, nem beszélnek angolul, ha nem nyitsz ajtót azonnal a személyzet be jön kulcsal! A medence bárjából hajnal 2ig fel hallatszott a hangos zene!
