Disappointing. Very Dirty rooms, they refused to give me my refund although we stayed for few hours.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Very bad experience at Rays Hotel. The room we were given was dirty, had a strong bad smell, and there was visible mold in the bathroom. It looked nothing like what was advertised. My wife is pregnant, so staying in those conditions was unsafe and unacceptable. We arrived late at night, stayed only a couple of hours because we had no immediate alternative, and left as soon as possible in the morning.

The owner initially said he would help once I submitted the refund request, but after we left, he refused the refund. We were also offered another room, but we refused because the hotel itself appeared dirty and affected by mold. Paying around $550 for only a few hours in such unhealthy conditions is completely unfair.

Pros:

Разположението на хотела е много добро.

Cons:

Имаше елементи, които не бяха изправни (като закачалката за хавлията в банята - беше счупена), но това не е нещо фрапантно.

Pros:

Außer der wlan nichts

Cons:

Das Frühstück wurde uns fast wie in einem Abstellraum serviert. Außerdem waren die Vorhänge im Zimmer schon fast grau vor Schmutz. Im Badezimmer war die Duschkabine ebenfalls schmutzig, überall war schwarzer Schimmel. Der Spülmechanismus der Toilette war defekt – um das Wasser abzulassen, mussten wir manuell hineingreifen.
Das Waschbecken war so klein, dass man gerade mal die Hände waschen konnte. Sobald man versuchte, das Gesicht zu waschen, war das ganze Badezimmer nass.
An der Rezeption arbeiteten offenbar Kinder – wir mussten sehr lange warten, um uns über das Nachbarzimmer zu beschweren. Diese waren extrem laut und feierten, ohne Rücksicht auf andere Gäste zu nehmen. Zwei Nächte lang konnten wir deshalb kaum schlafen.
Fazit: Absolut nicht empfehlenswert.

Pros:

De locatie is echt SUPERRR. PERSONEEL ook heel vriendelijk.

Cons:

Het is behoorlijk GEHORIG. s'nachts gewoon met stoelen en tafels schuiven. Je hoort letterlijk alles.

En de koelkast deed het niet. Was niet koud genoeg. En het was te warm in de kamer. We kregen die cv maar niet uit.
