This time, after staying three seasons at Altera Hotel, I decided to change location and stay closer to Central Festival shopping mall. I checked the ratings on Trip.com — the hotel had very strong reviews, which is why I chose it. Honestly, the choice turned out to be a good one.
The hotel is mid-range — not luxury. I travel a lot (DIAMOND+ on Trip.com), so I have plenty to compare with. There are hotels with larger rooms and bigger swimming pools, but what really stands out here is the location — everything is extremely close and convenient.
The service throughout my stay was excellent. The staff are polite, friendly, always smiling, and ready to help. The breakfasts were a very pleasant surprise — a wide selection, and everything was genuinely tasty.
The swimming pool is located on the 7th floor. It’s not large, but cozy and relaxing. Central Festival is just a few minutes away, and the beach is also very close. I stayed at the hotel for 10 days and overall really enjoyed the experience.
However, the check-out experience on February 20 at 10:00 AM slightly spoiled the overall impression. There was only one receptionist on duty, and she was busy with another guest, so I had to wait. When it was my turn, I was told I needed to pay additionally for a broken cup. I explained that I had already paid for the broken cup and the cleaning and asked them to check their records.
She then had to verify everything by sending messages and waiting for confirmation before finally saying “OK.” In a hotel of this level, there should be a clear and reliable payment recording system to avoid situations like this.
The service during check-out felt tired and impersonal — no smile, no friendly farewell, no “have a nice trip.” Just routine and fatigue. Against the background of otherwise excellent service during my stay, this moment felt disappointing.
Overall, my impression of the hotel is positive. If I stay in this area again, I would very likely choose this hotel once more.
