Hotel Costa Citara

Hard to say of any good points about this hotel sorry to say

Staff were not helpful , bar one one member who was pleasant throughout our stay ( boxing joke ;) ) .0n arrival after 13 hours of travel to be told we couldn't get a drink or any snacks and everywhere around was closed , to then walk outside and be welcomed in by the complex accross the street with drinks and snacks ?! hotel and pools very dated . Paid for a see view room , didn't get one , after them asking us the following day if we wanted to change rooms , to which the alternate room was in a very poor condition we declined

- the room was clean - there is a swimming pool - thermal waters pool - the bed was fine - an additional pillow and two blankets in the wardrobe - the bus stop is right in front of the hotel gate

We had an overall bad impression of the hotel and its location in general. It felt like the hotel makes as less effort as possible to charge you money for your stay. - the photos on booking.com look, of course, better than the reality - no welcome drinks as was promised in the offer - our room was literary facing a wall of the next hotel, only 2 meters away - the sound isolation is TERRIBLE! you can hear EVERYTHING in the neighbour rooms and corridor. And naturally, your neighbours hear you - the 'big bed' is, of course, two single beds next to each other with a gap inbetween - the cleaning lady enters the room without knocking on the door. So if you are in a situation you don't want to be seen... well, good luck. - there are no signs "please, do not disturb" provided by the hotel, so we had to make our own, to prevent the cleaning lady breaking in our room - there is a RUSTER living just behind the wall of the neighbours building. Rusters start singing at 4:30 in the morning. - the breakfast is just a bare minimum. One croissant per person. Cherry tomatoes at the buffet are always unwashed and unfresh - hotel is situated at the main road, so there is really bad air pollution from the street - it's about 15 min by foot to the beach downhill (and back naturally uphill). The location has almost no sidewalks for pedestrians, so it's stressful and dangerous to walk there. Also, there is no regulations on the gas emissions from the cars, therefore you are suffocating while walking to the beach.

Room always clean and tidy. Comfortable and air con worked great. Bus stop outside so even if you are not found of walking you can get the bus around for cheap.

Our room had an emergency exit door (bar to open). This door could not be locked from the inside thus you had the option of sleeping knowing anyone could walk into to your room. Very concerning. Other than that the location isnt the best. Plenty to see if you are happy to walk up and down a few steep hills.
