Hotel Boutique Shine

Breakfast was ok. Location acceptable.

No tea and coffee facilities in the room. The hotel gets very warm during summer days, there was no air conditioning in the lobbies and staircases and the one in the room was insufficient. Hard to sleep at night in that heat. They never refilled the shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom. The swimming pool is very small. Definitely not a 4 star hotel.

The room was modern and clean (the personnel cleaned it daily and changed the sheets twice in one week). Me and my wife liked the fact that we were offered a room with a street view and not of the construction site behind the hotel. The access to the pool is included in the price of the room, but we didn't test it as we wished to swim in the sea. We both liked the fact that we could rest properly. In comparison to other hotels at the seaside, here it was quiet.

Considering this is a 4* hotel it is absolutely not acceptable to have such a shower cabin. It was all covered in limescale and rust as if it wasn't cleaned properly for months/years. A simple and cheap limescale remover, used after every tourist ended his/her staying would have done wonders. This was a big issue for us. The breakfast is not a 'good breakfast' at all. It was the same every morning and had the cheapest salamis and cheese, was low in variety and the eggs were poor quality as well. The breakfast wasn't fit even for a 3* hotel. We had much better at 3* hotels in Neptun/Jupiter. Plus every morning when they prepared breakfast it smelled everywhere in the hotel like fried eggs. This was another big issue as we had to find breakfast food somewhere else (which was hard since most of the shops/restaurants were closed at that hour). Also, the breakfast was served starting with 8 am - at 5* hotels they serve breakfast starting with 6-6:30 am and at 3* hotels 7-7:30 am. By 8am we were already at the beach and hungry, so this isn't a good fit for morning people. There was no air conditioning in the lobby (which, by the way, was the same with the room where they served breakfast) - it was actually hotter inside than outside at noon. No personnel to be found on the front desk on various occasions when we wanted to ask some questions. And the ones we did find never smiled, always acted bothered. I don't think that is a very fit attitude for someone who works in the hospitality business. The pillows were too small and old. No comfort there. Also, there were only two small pillows on a king size bed. They could have added at least one more pillow per person. The mattress was also uncomfortable - both my wife and I had a poor sleep because of this. The lights were very poor in the bathroom, you could barely see to shave or apply make-up. Also, all the light in the room was cold. You can have led lighting with warm light.
