After spending one night at a "horror hotel" upon arrival, we were able to book our group into the Best Western Plus Olives City Hotel. This was the right move - we were three adults and two kids, and the "two-room apartment" they had on the 7th floor was perfect, and an added bonus of a hotel parking and an indoor pool made our lives easier for the duration of the stay. Breakfast was good too! Recommend!

Nice and clean but…

Nice, clean, new hotel. However, there was a party in the restaurant on the ground floor and we could hear the thumping of the music all the way to the 5th floor till 2am. Also, apparently, in late May, it is not hot enough to have the AC running so we had to open the balcony door to let cool air in during the night. This made the music even more audible.

Room was great and we enjoyed the Greek restaurant. We picked this hotel for the pool but we’re not able to use it. It closes at 1900 in evening and the morning held a private event for families with small children from 900-1330. There is an extra charge to use sauna and steam rooms.

old, outdated. My bed sheets on the sofa were not changed. Very cramped. Depressing feel about design, lack of natural light. There was kitchen, but no utensils or pots or pans. There is nothing around. On the plus side its conveniently located if you need to get to the airport.

I stayed at this hotel for 9 nights, and while the room itself was fairly clean, the overall experience was disappointing. Housekeeping was very inconsistent. The bed was often made poorly, coffee, tea, soap, and other supplies were frequently not replenished, used coffee cups were sometimes left dirty, and we were often given fewer towels than the number of guests in the room. The biggest issue was the air conditioning. It automatically shuts off whenever the balcony door is opened and often had to be manually reset by the front desk. On the day we arrived after a long international flight, the AC wasn't working, and we had to switch rooms after my exhausted daughter had already fallen asleep. Then, on the fifth night at 1 a.m., the AC failed again, and we were told we might have to change rooms in the middle of the night while our children were sleeping. The hotel also advertises a pool, but it was extremely small and covered the entire time we were there, making it unusable. Overall, the hotel did not meet expectations due to poor housekeeping, ongoing maintenance issues, and misleading amenities. I would not stay here again.

The sauna and steam room you gave to pay extra and you can’t use the swimming pool without a cap.. the tea, coffee and water weren’t replaced every day so you had to ask.. the distance from the city isn’t right as we always had to use a taxi to get to the city centre and back as the hotel was so far.. also the taxis scammed us twice..

Premetto che la stanza è ampia e confortevole dotata di balconcino e di ogni comfort. Qui però finiscono le buone notizie a causa di un personale inetto, incapace e privo di empatia e di problem resolving che hanno rovinato il nostro soggiorno perché non pulivano le stanze, non rifornivano caffè e acqua, non risolvevano piccoli problemi (asciugacapelli, scarichi del lavandino ). Abbiamo dovuto sopportare che la piscina fosse per noi inaccessibile per un party privato, ho dovuto pagare una bottiglia d ‘acqua 5,9 leva a colazione perché era a portata di mano ma non si poteva prendere…ogni diritto andava preteso (refill d’acqua caffè carta igienica asciugamani) altrimenti non veniva onorato benché pagato. Le 4 stelle sono molto generose. I bulgari sono molto chiusi ed inospitali

Fint, använt hotell med medioker service

Märks att det har varit ett mycket fint hotell som börjar att bli lite slitet, men fortsatt mycket fint rum. Bra städning på ytan men ex koppar/muggar på rummet var inte diskade. Mycket fin frukost. Fanns mineralvatten, te och kaffe man kunde servera sig på rummet. Personalen när jag kom verkade stressad och att ogilla sitt jobb, utförde jobbet utan servicekänsla, mannen vid utcheckningen var mer tillmötesgående och mjuk. Bassängen var likaså något sliten nu och dess område något trist med emballage på ett område, men man kunde bortse ifrån det. Man behöver använda badmössa i poolen.
