Run down hotel in a terrible location

This hotel is run down and the management doesn’t seem genuinely interested in updating it. The shower door fell off, the AC wasn’t functional, the wifi cut in and out, the paint on the walls needed serious help, and the management’s response was to give me a hard time for leaving them a bad review on google. Breakfast is also not great and it costs more than the 6 euros they list online. The location is also terrible. You are right around the corner from a huge factory wasteland, and though Taranto is close, there is nowhere to eat within walking distance and Taranto is a hellhole for drivers (the worst I’ve ever experienced in Europe). All in all, this place is a polished dump, not at all like how they present it

Rent och snyggt. Bra rum och trevligt polområde. Stranden i anslutning lite skräpig. Bad i polen tidsbegränsad kl.9-19 och krävdes badmössa som kan köpas på hotellet. Underhållning med hög musik och lekar stora delar av dagen och kvällen. (På Italienska.) Restaurangen på hotellet ej prisvärd. Bra med parkering i anslutning till entrén. Zona Industrial ligger mellan Hotellet och Taranto.

Hotellet fremstod slidt, både værelse og udendørsomgivelser. Beliggenheden ved havet var dejlig, men selve området var trist, beskidt og ikke rigtig trygt. Poolen var dejlig, der var masser af solstole og plads. Restauranten var ret kedelig og udvalget begrænset.

Keep it simple

Das Zimmer war recht spartanisch eingerichtet was aber nicht wirklich störte. Jedoch erwarte ich von einem 4* Hotel in Sachen Sauberkeit etwas mehr. (Badezimmer Reste des Vorgängers). Desweiteren waren die Balkontüren recht bescheiden zu öffnen und der Balkon über meinem sah von unten auch nicht mehr so stabil aus. Das "Frühstück" war mehr als wenig und am Ende servierte man ein gekochtes Ei vom Vortag ein Orangensaft im Plastikbecher und ein sehr leckeres Croissant.
