Viking Beach Hotel

Location: Most reviews emphasize the hotel’s prime position, being within 10 meters of the sea, near the city center, and close to attractions like Moonlight Park, shopping areas, and nearby beaches .

First of all, the hotel deserves a maximum of 3 stars, and the MAXIMUM. The staff is not so friendly, the rooms are clean, but non-functional, outdoor air conditioning units are installed on the terraces, so when you go out on the terrace you get a heat stroke. The bathrooms have been renovated, but the shower cabins are too narrow and claustrophobic. Also, more attention is paid to the floors and the cleanliness of the marble slabs than to the tables at which meals are served. The cleaners clean under your table while you eat, moving the table and chairs for you. The tables in the garden are mostly dirty and greasy. The beach is a special story, rocky, the entrance to the water, you can break your leg. The same beach is used by the guests of three neighboring hotels, no one cares about it. People take up more sunbeds than they need and position them as they see fit, so you have to be a top athlete to get to the water! Individuals put towels on 2-3 sunbeds, and then lie down on others and occupy 4-5 sunbeds, no one to warn them. Also, people who are not guests of any hotel at all (they do not have wristbands from surrounding hotels) come to the beach and occupy the sunbeds, so it is very difficult to find a free sunbed at some point. All in all a beach disaster. Very often there is no coffee in the coffee machines, so you only get water. Waiters hate to wash cups, so drinks are most often served from plastic cups, of the worst quality. But the waiters are there first, to take the cakes before the guests, which are brought out around 5 p.m., for themselves. The food is always the same, only at dinner they can surprise you with a good meal, but that is also repeated, every 3 days, the same. As for the fruits they serve, most of them are unripe and not sweet, the oranges seem to have been standing there for days, dry and mushy, only watermelon can be sweet, but not every time. If you are sitting by the window of a restaurant while having lunch, do not be surprised that the cleaners come and start washing the windows with the assurance that "you don't mind them". In the rooms you get 2 or 3 bottles of water in the mini bar when you arrive and that's it! The description of the rooms states that they have water heaters, but they don't. All in all, it's not even for 3 stars, but for 2+.
