You get just what you pay for. The room was very nice, aside from a fair few places where it was falling apart, and the shower was a bit dirty. The staff were overall helpful and answered my questions, however, there was a constant pressure to pay in cash and not with a card, which was very annoying and wasn't a preference I was made aware of prior to my stay. Additionally I was offered a breakfast for an added charge, but for some reason this was a preperscribed meal, and I could not choose a different breakfast from the total restaurant menu for some reason, and I was charged above average prices for bottled water. It makes sense for the hotel to cut costs on these things, but for the price of the room I think I would have been happy to pay an extra 10 Euro for free water. I would definitely consider Hotel GoldenGate again, thanks to its price point, but there are things that the owner and staff could do to make a stay far more comfortable, with minimal effort and cost.

NE VENEZ JAMAIS ICI !!!!! Cet hôtel est à FUIR, je ne sais même pas comment il est encore autorisé à être ouvert et pouvoir accueillir des touristes, le personnel est sournois, parle constamment dans leurs langue face à vous vous concernant, réceptionniste désagréable et qui ne comprends pas l’anglais. Remet beaucoup en question votre parole, vous ne pouvez rien réclamez car ils auront toujours quelque chose à dire, personnel très têtu. N’en parlons pas de l’accès, pas mentionné que l’hôtel ne dispose pas d’ascenseur avec escalier très étroit ! Chambre très étroite ! Les murs sont fins nous entendons tout que ce soit dehors ou les chambres d’à côté ! Les draps n’ont jamais été changé, ils changent que les serviettes. Papiers toilette donné au compte goutte et en plus déjà entamé ?. La porte de la douche ne se ferme pas tout est rouillé, cassé … envier non fixé ce qui est très dangereux, hôtel non aux normes ! Mise à disposition d’un mini frigo et d’un bouilloire sans prise à côté … compliqué pour brancher 2 chargeurs … certains personnels vous réclame de l’argent pour de l’eau d’autre non … Il n’accepte que du cash et négocient pour pas qu’on paye en carte. Soucis avec les cartes à plusieurs reprise nous nous retrouvons à attendre devant la chambre, on demande par la suite à changer de chambre, le personnel refuse. Wifi non fonctionnelle. Hôtel horrible et délabré. Petit pt positif je tiens à remercier Nour pour ses petits dej parfait et sa générosité et son professionnalisme
