Welt Standard Entgegen den Photos bei hotels.com sieht die Realität anders aus. Protziges Eingangsportal und dann kleine abgenutzte Zimmer, Schimmel in der Dusche, Rost in den Ecken, abgenudelter Badvorleger, man weiß nicht ob der Teppichboden lebt... Am Empfang dauerte es fast eine halbe Stunde bis die Buchung gefunden wurde, das erste Zimmer in das ich ziehen sollte war noch nicht hergerichtet (19 Uhr...). Kein Stuhl oder Tisch auf dem Balkon. Gebucht war "Seeblick", kein See weit und breit, lediglich ein kleiner Fluss mit zugemülltem Ufer. Auch am Pool keine Liege oder dergleichen. Dusche mit verrosteten Armaturen, Betonsteine dreckig. Die letzten beiden Tage gab´s morgens kein warmes Wasser zum Duschen. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/565E75570D6BC0D0BED8AB2845B36823BFFCC9201706449099980.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rolf Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ras-Al-Khaimah-Hotels-Rixos-Al-Mairid-Ras-Al-Khaimah.h2483701.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Belgium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Belgium.d17.Hotel-Destinations) > - [Lemas Suite Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Hotels-Lemas-Suite-Hotel-By-Kulabey.h15517862.Hotel-Information) > - [Beach Resorts & Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d178279-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Santani Wellness Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santani-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h15440298.Hotel-Information) > - [Only YOU Hotel Sevilla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seville-Hotels-Ayre-Hotel-Sevilla.h11761.Hotel-Information) > - [Langdale Boutique Hotel by Amaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amaya-Langdale-Nuwara-Eliya.h5280996.Hotel-Information) > - [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Tenby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d182887-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Wattura Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wennappuwa-Hotels-Wattura-Resort-And-Spa.h33621862.Hotel-Information) > - [VICTORIA GOLF RESORT SRI LANKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-Golf-And-Country-Resort.h15895682.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Lamlash](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lamlash-Hotels.d6124990.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Malabar Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Welipitiya-Hotels-Malabar-Hill.h38893995.Hotel-Information) > - [Thotalagala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haputale-Hotels-Thotalagala.h35771158.Hotel-Information) > - [Ski Hotels in Whistler](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whistler-Hotels-Ski-Hotels.0-0-d4115-tSkiHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Los Boliches Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Boliches-Beach-Hotels.0-l6222126-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Gal Oya Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gal-Oya-Lodge.h12662912.Hotel-Information) > - [Lochinvar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Lochinvar-Hotel.h43651710.Hotel-Information) > - [Villas Evia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Evia-Villas.d6052533-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Uga Jungle Beach - Trincomalee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jungle-Beach-By-Uga-Escapes.h7754814.Hotel-Information) > - [Avaana By SpringHills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avaana-By-SpringHills.h21123453.Hotel-Information) > - [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d781-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages ### General > - [Visit New Zealand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Zealand.dx133) ---
