Regular Hotel
Pros:

The hotel has two main positives: beautiful views from the balcony and a very good breakfast.

Cons:

However, it is a very limited 2-star hotel. Staff are only present in the morning; after midday, there is absolutely no service. The in-room safe is also very small and cannot fit a laptop. The hotel is a bit far from town, so a bicycle is almost essential, although parts of the road are dark at night and taxis are limited.

Finally, check-out at 10:00 was very strict. Despite many rooms being available, they refused to let us stay even 1–2 hours longer before our ferry, leaving us waiting outside until our transfer arrived. Very little flexibility or consideration.

Pros:

Widok na Ocean, pokoje sprzątane codziennie, dowóz z i do portu gratis.

Cons:

Pokoje bardzo stare, wymagające remontu. Brak możliwości zakupienia dodatkowych posiłków np obiadu czy kolacji, a do centrum ok 20minut pieszo. Zakup wody w cenie kilkukrotnie wyższej niż w sklepie. Brak zainteresowania gośćmi, i odległość od centrum w przypadku poruszania się pieszo też na minus. Jest wiele obiektów na booking w tej samej cenie i żałowaliśmy że przenieśliśmy się tutaj.

Soha többé
Pros:

A fogadó személyzet kedves volt, és a kilátás gyönyörű!

Cons:

Csótányos, lelakott veszélyes szobák, büdös ágyneműk és törölközők. Omlik a szoba festéke a falról, gusztustalan foltok rajta. A reggeli elfogadható volt, de közel sem finom. A képek magukért beszélnek. Egyszerűen annyi potenciál lenne ebbe a hotelben, de csak beszedik a pénzt és hagyják lelakni…

1/5 – Extremely Poor Value for Money.
Pros:

Cons:

1/5 – Extremely Poor Value for Money
Hotel l' Ocean may market itself as a hotel, but in reality it feels more like a property that has not seen meaningful investment for many years. The infrastructure is severely outdated and would not come close to meeting typical Western hospitality standards. Perhaps some guests may consider this acceptable by lower regional standards, but it certainly does not justify the rates being charged.
The photographs speak for themselves: exposed and improvised electrical installations, aging network equipment hanging on walls, damaged flooring, corroded air-conditioning units, poorly maintained plumbing, and visible signs of neglect throughout the property.
To reach our room we had to climb 54 steps, a significant inconvenience that is never properly highlighted during booking. The stairways were often decorated with a mixture of dead and living cockroaches, which hardly contributes to a pleasant holiday atmosphere.
Luxury can be a matter of taste. Hospitality is not.
Unfortunately, the greatest disappointment was not the aging facilities but the attitude of the staff. A warm welcome costs nothing, yet we encountered an atmosphere that felt indifferent, unhelpful, and at times outright unfriendly.
I have stayed in modest guesthouses that offered far better service and cleanliness than this hotel. At the hotel l'Ocean, I genuinely struggled to identify a single aspect that met expectations.
Rating: 1/5
Outdated facilities, poor maintenance, unpleasant access, and remarkably poor hospitality. I would not return and cannot recommend it.
