Amaranta Hotel

the staff is friendly.

This is the first time for me to write a negative review, but I would really like to warn other travelers, as I find it difficult to understand how does this hotel receive good reviews. To cut a long story short we left after 1 day although we paid in advance for 4 days, for the following reasons: 1. The room was smelly. 2. the room is not close to what you see in the pictures (we stayed at the suite which is in a building opposite the main hotel building). Everything is old, worn and tired. 3. The beds were uncomfortable and the room was noisy (street noise, not the best windows). 4. Breakfast restaurant was smelly and the food was horrible. 5. Location is bad, nothing nice in a walking distance, not even a decent place to eat. The hotel street is not really nice. 6. The pool and bar area is run-down - nothing like you see in the pictures!!! (it looks great when you take night photos) 7. the only good thing here is the staff which was friendly. The main feeling is sad in this place, looks like nothing was really maintained there for many years. Before we left we asked to speak to the manager. We were told that she is on a lunch break but she will get in touch with us. We haven't heard from her or anyone else until today (more than a week after we left).
