Great value hotel

Pros: We booked the last room and unfortunately the one that faced the main street of Samara. Not the hotels fault. The room was ok. We did not have the breakfast at the hotel. Very nice bakery across the road, if you had enough beans and rice.. The pool and the back garden was very nice.

Cons: The lady at the checkin was confusing and took forever to check us in. It was ok, but she was not kind nor welcoming. My husband was annoyed as they told him the room number and to take the bags up, while I completed papers, but didn't give him a key. When he returned to the room upstairs with the second round of bags, the room was locked and the receptionist confused about whose bags were in the room... The beds are not very comfortable and the street facing rooms are very noisy.

Fabulous stay, very helpful staff

Pros: Excellent staff from welcome to arranging bus transport back to airport. Special thanks to Laura and Karina in reception who were so helpful. Breakfast was great and serving staff also lovely. Pool was nice for a cool down and loungers always available. Pool towels free 1st day and $1 per day to change if wanted. Hotel is in town with beach, shops, bars and restaurants close by. Great location, though nothing is far in Samara. Only downside was an unpleasant smell by the rear boundary by the sun loungers. Otherwise a fabulous stay.

Amazing stay

Pros: This is a very good hotel, waking up to the sounds of birds was amazing. The staff was super helpful from assistance with parking and anything needed. Breakfast was okay. I loved our room, the art around the room and the hotel is just beautiful!!

Cons: A bit of noise from being so close to the main road.
