From the airport we drove slowly, the bus was comfortable and the driver was Russian-speaking.

The hotel itself is located on the Aegean coast, the beach is clean and there are many free sunbeds. It was possible to lie under umbrellas, but we rested under the shade of pine trees. On the territory there was a swimming pool for adults and a partition for children, there was a bar nearby, where they made delicious cocktails and snacks.
Our room had a view of the sea, every evening we watched the sunset. At lunchtime, we did not worry about the sleep of the children, as it was always quiet and calm. The room itself had everything we needed: TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, balcony, wardrobe, clean linens. Cleaned carefully, there were no comments.
We had breakfast and dinner, and a fairly large selection of food, we ate ourselves and meals were always prepared for the children. I especially liked the steamed chicken and vegetables. In the morning we took Greek local coffee and traditional pastries.
Every day the hotel guide Konstantin came to us, when any questions arose, he always helped us to solve them.
The port of Prinos was 4 km away from us, but we were not particularly eager to go there, as we wanted to see the island with comfort and convenience, since it was extremely important with children. Therefore, we went on a sightseeing tour of the island of Thassos. Those places that opened up for us, we have not seen anywhere else. And having lunch with freshly caught fish in a tavern overlooking the island, we will not forget for sure.
The island left the most positive impressions and the hotel is also satisfied, for a relaxing holiday what you need.

I want to share my impressions about the rest at the Rachoni Beach hotel on the Greek island of Thassos. We stayed at this hotel from August 25 to September 8.2017. I will try to be objective and not succumb to emotions, although there are plenty of them. The Rachoni Beach Hotel is located on the seafront in the village of Rachoni.

I want to share my impressions about the rest at the Rachoni Beach hotel on the Greek island of Thassos.
We stayed at this hotel from August 25 to September 8.2017.
I will try to be objective and not succumb to emotions, although there are plenty of them.
The Rachoni Beach Hotel is located on the seafront in the village of Rachoni. Around very old olive groves and pines. From entertainment 3-4 taverns, one of which (Olga) plays live music on Thursdays. 2 small shops with food and souvenirs and a supermarket 20 minutes walk from the hotel. So, dear lovers of the promenade and noisy entertainment, you are not here.
We arrived at the hotel around 9 am. Breakfast was not over yet, but they refused to feed us. They didn’t even offer water (we have encountered such amazing miserliness more than once). They offered to leave things near the reception desk, and there was no one there regularly. Take what you want. Why there is no separate room for luggage is unclear.
Carrying luggage to the rooms is not provided.
In my presence, an elderly woman asked for this service, they refused.
We were warned that we would not be able to check in until 14:00. We had to sit somewhere for 5 hours. There is a fairly large hall near the reception with sofas and armchairs with a transparent ceiling and no air conditioning. After breakfast in a nearby tavern, we tried to sort out our belongings in the hall, find swimsuits, but what kind. Not only did the temperature (a transparent ceiling with such and such a sun), according to my feelings, exceeded 40, so there was still something unbearably smelled (chlorine? ) to pain in the eyes. And they didn't last 3 minutes.
At 14:00 they showed us the room (No. 702) where we would be settled. We were horrified. The balcony of the room (and not only our room) was 0 (zero) meters from the footpath, 2.5 meters from the carriageway and 13-14 meters (measured by steps) from the stinking garbage dump. Repeatedly asked to change the room and the administrator (Milena) and the representative of Muzidinis (Anna) and the owner of the hotel.
They offered to pay for a room change. Zero reaction. And the director was pleasantly surprised, “What don’t you like, this is a room with a view of the mountains ! ! ! ”(probably they meant mountains of garbage)“ and you should be grateful because instead of a “standard” room they gave you a “deluxe” room. We will not discuss the question of what is better a “standard” room or a “deluxe” room in the garbage, everything seems to be clear anyway. It was especially offensive for the newlyweds, who were settled in the next room (No. 701) for 21 days. They said it was their honeymoon. The honeymoon is actually in the trash, it's cool, they will remember for a lifetime. No matter how much they asked, they were not relocated either. At least with us. Almost everyone who arrived with our group was dissatisfied with their numbers. We have a strong belief that the Russians in this hotel have a special, negative attitude.
Our fears about the garbage, unfortunately, were fully justified. She could not be removed for 3-4 days.
Turn on the imagination, what happens in 3-4 days with food waste at a temperature of + 25-35 degrees ..... True, we did not always smell. According to my observations, it stank especially in the morning and in the evening, when there was no wind, and the wind carried these smells to the neighboring hotel (my condolences to the residents of the hotel). We asked our guide (Anna), since they don’t want to relocate, to assist in the regular cleaning of containers. And they asked! The garbage truck arrived between 5 o'clock. 20 minutes. (naturally in the morning) until 6 o'clock. 20 minutes. and with a roar, a rattle, a rumble, removed the garbage. Sleeping after that was difficult. And most importantly, the incense did not decrease from this. This circumstance, as well as cars and the noisy crowd walking under the windows, forced us to tightly close the doors and turn on the air conditioner, despite the fact that the temperature at night reached 18 degrees, and it would be possible to sleep with the doors open, but this somehow reduced noise.
Now about the room itself.
There were only 2 towels in the room. One per person. They were originally white. I don’t know how many years they were used, and for what purposes, how they were washed and whether they were washed at all, but they had a gray color. It's just disgusting to wipe them off. Later, after several requests and tips, the cleaner was given one more towel each, but of the same gray color. We met a family from Moscow, so they were given an additional 1 (one) “extra” towel for three, frankly dirty, well, very dirty (they showed us his photo). I would wash the floor with it only after washing, so as not to stain the floor. They said that when they came to the reception with this towel, they only laughed there. The woman, when she talked about this, wept from the humiliation she had endured. Only when they sent a letter to Musidinis! ! ! they were treated more carefully. But they still had to buy a towel from the store.
(And another woman, whom we also met on the beach, bought herself a rag for the floor, because the drain in the shower did not work well for her, they could not or did not want to repair it, and the water had to be removed).
There was only one hook for towels in the shower. They asked for at least one more hook to attach. Received a categorical refusal. We ourselves went to the store and bought self-adhesive hooks (I must say high-quality ones), as many as 4 pieces for 2 euros, and this problem was solved for ourselves and for future residents.
In the shower, the switch from a manual watering can to a stationary watering can was not working, they asked me to fix it. After the repair, it became possible to use the switch, but this required brute male power and a towel wrapped around the switch. No more contact was made about this.
There were no chairs in the room, not one. At the request to give chairs at the reception (Milena), they offered to take a chair from the balcony.
Only after contacting the owner of the hotel was given one chair.
There is no lighting in the room. One sconce near the mirror and weak, decorative lighting around the headboard. Total intimacy. Something to read in the evening is impossible. In the shower room, out of 4 lamps, 2 work, though they are bright. There is a lamp on the balcony, but it does not work. Asked for table lamps. With a creak they gave one. They promised a second one but didn't deliver. So they passed this lamp to each other like a baton. There were no fights, but there were disputes. It is also impossible to read something in the lobby in the evening. If there is a light there, then it is not turned on, and there is twilight in the evening.
There is a socket for a telephone in the room, but there is no telephone.
Something always dripped intensely from the ceiling on the balcony, especially when it's hot (condensation? ). Droplets hit the parapet of the balcony, and dirty splashes flew at us and onto the laundry hung out to dry. They asked for a container from under the mayonnaise and the problem was solved.
The collected water was poured over drying flowers in tubs at the reception.
There are no excesses such as writing materials typical for a hotel *** (I write and am ridiculous myself that one would expect the presence of writing materials in this THIS hotel).
There are insects in the room. Flies, mosquitoes, (in small numbers) and ants (in large numbers). We fought flies and mosquitoes ourselves. They asked us to get rid of the ants. They promised to hold a dignity. processing, allegedly carried out, but the ants continued to crawl. They asked again, supposedly held, but the ants continued to crawl. The third time they did not ask, they realized that it was useless.
Of the toiletries, there were 2 bars of soap, 15g each. for the entire stay at the hotel. And nothing more! There was no talk of shower gel and shampoo, air fragrance, on the first day they hinted at it, and then they didn’t even ask. Thank God, there was toilet paper, but it also ran out once.
I had to use purchased wipes.
There is no shelf under the mirror for toiletries.
The window for ventilation from the toilet goes directly into the hall and if you have, say, diarrhea, then the whole hotel knows about it by the characteristic sounds from this window.
Room cleaning is disgusting. On purpose, I didn’t clean up the fly I killed near the door to the balcony, it disappeared only after 2 days, and it’s not a fact that this is the result of cleaning. The mirror in the bathroom is located low, directly above the washbasin and was naturally splashed with water, but it was not washed every time, and after washing it was all streaked. The glass in the shower was not cleaned at all. When it became completely opaque, they asked to wash it. Somehow washed. They didn't ask for more. The cleaning lady comes when she pleases. Usually in the very heat when we rest. Once they simply refused to clean. They said at the reception (Milena) that the cleaning time was inconvenient for us.
They refused to reschedule the time or at least fix the cleaning time for a certain hour.
There is a kitchenette in the room, but nothing works there. The handles have been removed from the electric stove. The faucet spouts. I managed to fix the faucet. It's good that I had pliers (I took it for fishing) and a band-aid. So we used the faucet in the sink to wash fruit.
Our friends lived in the family room. It had a functioning kettle, an electric stove, and even a microwave oven, but there were no dishes, not even tea cups, not to mention cutlery. We used the plastic cups we brought with us.
There is Wi-Fi in the hotel, but it is very unstable. In the evening it practically does not work (1 Mbps). Early in the morning near the reception 24-54 Mbps.
The taste was reminiscent of hydrochloric acid diluted with water, dye and flavor. Naturally, once we tried them, we did not take them again.
Boiling water for tea was occasionally not enough. They boiled it in two HOUSEHOLD electric kettles (this is for such a number of guests).
There was usually a queue for tea cups. There were few of them, and as a rule, three to five cups were taken out. Cups for yogurt (by the way, one of the few tasty products) were also always in short supply, this also applies to teaspoons.
In general, dishes are a separate song. The plates are all different. 20-30% of them are chipped with some dark spots on the bottom. On the last day (September 7.17) they served wet dishes in general. They wiped it off with paper towels.
From spices 1 (one) salt shaker for 3-4 tables, mustard and ketchup on distribution.
I tried the soup served for dinner (one type) 2 times, I didn’t even try more. Terrible crap.
The only baked goods were bread. No pies, buns, cakes, etc. , etc. for you.
n. Jelly dessert for dinner. I didn't like it at all.
From seafood they gave several times some small either stewed or fried fish. Or the fish itself was not very tasty, or it was poorly cooked, and most likely both, but it was not very tasty. However, the cats, found here in abundance, ate it with pleasure.
Because of the donkeys, we ate in the building, although there are tables outside. Wasps are present in huge numbers all over the island (allergic sufferers take note!! ), and as soon as there is food, they flock to share the meal with you. They flew into the hall and to the distribution, but these were single specimens, but even one wasp crawling on the distribution of food did not add appetite. The hotel does nothing about it. In taverns, wasps are scared away by smoke, putting a bowl with something smoldering on the table. Wasps are not aggressive, but nevertheless bit me 2 times. The bite site hurts for 1-2 days, then it itches for 2-3 days.
Room service during breakfast hours, breakfast menu is not provided in the room.
We left the hotel for the airport early in the morning. Therefore, we were given a dry ration, which consisted of 2 pieces of bread, one piece of sausage and one piece of cheese, the taste of which I wrote about. They offered to buy water themselves in the store (no comment).
About the beach.
All the famous beaches of the island (Aliki, Golden, Paradise, Makriamos, La Scala, etc. ) are packed. Umbrella and sunbeds are quite expensive here, up to 15 euros. But there are many less well-known beaches, where people are smaller and cheaper, and sometimes you can take an umbrella and sunbed for free, you just need to order something in a cafe. And there are generally wild beaches (Arzanas), where there are no umbrellas, no sunbeds and few people.
The hotel's beach is sandy, well located, in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. There are enough sun loungers for everyone, but we must keep in mind that some of them are broken.
There are about 60 umbrellas or even more, in addition there are 4 large pine trees, all this fully satisfies the need for shade.
The sea is shallow, so that there is water up to the neck, with a height of 170 cm, you need to walk about 80 meters from the coast. The bottom is sandy, but there are stones and algae.
Smoking is allowed on the beach, which is very annoying. Constantly had to maneuver along the beach in order to get rid of the smoky excrement of smokers. There are no ashtrays on the beach and smokers, without further ado, throw their cigarette butts right there on the sand, the most cultured and educated bury them in the same sand. So both the beach itself and its bowels are stuffed with cigarette butts. Several times I tried to remove cigarette butts, well, at least near my sunbed, and at least those on the surface. From 20 to 40 cigarette butts were collected within a radius of 2-4 meters. Cleaners do not clean cigarette butts, probably considering them an integral part of the beach.
By the way, on the beach of the neighboring hotel there are tables near the umbrellas and ashtrays on them, there are much fewer cigarette butts.
There are no cabanas on the beach. Toilet too, of course.
Soul -2, at different ends of the beach, but there is no tap to wash your feet from the sand. If you wash your feet in the shower, you will still wet everything from your heels to your waist.
Periodically on the beach, on its right side, if you stand facing the sea, there is a smell, or rather a stench, from the sewer. This usually happens in the evening and early morning hours. At the same time, purely subconsciously, the desire to climb into the water disappears from the assumption that there may be sewage drains. The nature of this stink has never been established. (Maybe some maintenance work at the treatment plant? ).
We have been to Greece 9 times. The Rachoni Beach hotel is the worst service and food preparation we have seen in Greece.
Moreover, this is the opinion of all the Russians whom we met here and who had previously visited Greece.
On the beach, I was an unwitting witness to a conversation between 2 Russian women who had just arrived. They talked about this "fucking hotel" and this "fucking Greece" and that "it would be better to go to Turkey. " I strongly disagree with this. Greece is BEAUTIFUL, with absolutely charming nature, with a rich history, a country where there is something to see, with BEAUTIFUL, kind, helpful, friendly people and Thassos is no exception. There is no comparison between Turkey and Greece. And about the hotel and its staff is well said in the Russian proverb: "A family is not without its black sheep. " Therefore, we went and will go to Greece. Only now we will be more attentive to the choice of the hotel.
For trips to Greece, we used the services of the tour operator Musidinis, whose credibility was undermined after our last trip.
After all, the representative of Musidinis (Anna) was in our hotel every day. Doesn't she see what's going on? Why did we have to beg and humiliate ourselves in front of the hotel administration, as it should be?
I wrote this opus after I read positive reviews about the hotel on the Internet, which, as I suspect, were written by the employees of Musidinis themselves and other mishandled Cossack women. And I really want the people to know the whole truth about the Rachoni Beach Hotel, to be able to make an objective choice and not be disappointed in Greece and its people.
We stayed at this hotel from August 25 to September 8.2017.
I will try to be objective and not succumb to emotions, although there are plenty of them.
The Rachoni Beach Hotel is located on the seafront in the village of Rachoni. Around very old olive groves and pines.

So both the beach itself and its bowels are stuffed with cigarette butts. Several times I tried to remove cigarette butts, well, at least near my sunbed, and at least those on the surface. From 20 to 40 cigarette butts were collected within a radius of 2-4 meters. Cleaners do not clean cigarette butts, probably considering them an integral part of the beach.
By the way, on the beach of the neighboring hotel there are tables near the umbrellas and ashtrays on them, there are much fewer cigarette butts.
There are no cabanas on the beach. Toilet too, of course.
Soul -2, at different ends of the beach, but there is no tap to wash your feet from the sand. If you wash your feet in the shower, you will still wet everything from your heels to your waist.
Periodically on the beach, on its right side, if you stand facing the sea, there is a smell, or rather a stench, from the sewer. This usually happens in the evening and early morning hours. At the same time, purely subconsciously, the desire to climb into the water disappears from the assumption that there may be sewage drains. The nature of this stink has never been established. (Maybe some maintenance work at the treatment plant? ).
We have been to Greece 9 times. The Rachoni Beach hotel is the worst service and food preparation we have seen in Greece.
Moreover, this is the opinion of all the Russians whom we met here and who had previously visited Greece.
On the beach, I was an unwitting witness to a conversation between 2 Russian women who had just arrived. They talked about this "fucking hotel" and this "fucking Greece" and that "it would be better to go to Turkey. " I strongly disagree with this. Greece is BEAUTIFUL, with absolutely charming nature, with a rich history, a country where there is something to see, with BEAUTIFUL, kind, helpful, friendly people and Thassos is no exception. There is no comparison between Turkey and Greece. And about the hotel and its staff is well said in the Russian proverb: "A family is not without its black sheep. " Therefore, we went and will go to Greece. Only now we will be more attentive to the choice of the hotel.
For trips to Greece, we used the services of the tour operator Musidinis, whose credibility was undermined after our last trip.
After all, the representative of Musidinis (Anna) was in our hotel every day. Doesn't she see what's going on? Why did we have to beg and humiliate ourselves in front of the hotel administration, as it should be?
I wrote this opus after I read positive reviews about the hotel on the Internet, which, as I suspect, were written by the employees of Musidinis themselves and other mishandled Cossack women. And I really want the people to know the whole truth about the Rachoni Beach Hotel, to be able to make an objective choice and not be disappointed in Greece and its people.

Good day! I rested with my sister on the island of Thassos at the Rachoni Beach Hotel. The hotel is not bad, it has its pros and cons. I really liked the picturesque beach of the hotel, and the place itself is beautiful, bright and colorful. True, the territory of the hotel is small, but ideal for those who are looking for privacy.

I really liked the picturesque beach of the hotel, and the place itself is beautiful, bright and colorful. True, the territory of the hotel is small, but ideal for those who are looking for privacy. In the evenings it is quiet and calm here, because after dinner all tourists usually disperse to taverns or sit quietly at the bar, since there are no events taking place at the hotel. And we usually admired the sunset on our cozy balcony.
We had a deluxe room with a sea view and were happy with our choice. Cleaning wasn't a problem either.
The hotel staff is friendly and cheerful, however, no one knows Russian here, except for one girl from Bulgaria who works at the reception. But if there is any problem, then the hotel guide of the company will always help with translation and more. There are not many Russian tourists here either, mostly Romanians, Bulgarians, Swedes, Germans.
The food leaves much to be desired, it seems to be tasty, but the choice of dishes is poor. I wanted more variety.
But there are excellent taverns nearby, where prices are quite reasonable.
But in general, we had a great rest and enjoyed all the beauty of the nature of the flowering island of Thassos.

Good afternoon. This year my husband and I decided to go to the island of Thassos, because in the past we have already been to Greece, but in Crete. Now we have a dream to travel around all the resort islands of Greece. I understand that we won’t be able to see all 2500 ordinary islands, but I want to know at least a part.

In general, I can say about the hotel that everything is within the normal range for the price we paid for it. Our room was on the second floor with a sea view. Clean, comfortable, nothing superfluous, but everything is worthy. I advise everyone to eat in taverns at least a few times during the rest. In the hotel you will not feel such color as in taverns. There, the hosts always come out themselves or set the tables or cook right in front of you. All in all. It feels like you get to their house - to the family for dinner.
Yes, the owner of the hotel always sits at the reception, so you can always contact him directly if anything. There is a Russian-speaking girl. There are no problems with translation either.
The beach is excellent - sandy. We even saw how it was cleaned every day, because we went swimming early in the morning. There are no sea urchins and other living creatures in the sea. You can not be afraid in this regard.
I think we will come here next year. The price is low and the quality is good. Thanks!

Also, once a week, Greek evenings are held near our hotel in the Olga tavern. The hotel consists of 3 buildings at the reception works Russian-speaking Magdalena.
We lived in a deluxe room overlooking the sea, a very comfortable room, air conditioning is free and wi fi is also only a safe for an extra charge of 1.5 euros per day, sunbeds by the sea are free and you can buy a beach towel at the minimarket. The food system at the hotel is very convenient. book only breakfasts and dinners and go to taverns for lunch or all inclusive (breakfasts lunches dinners and drinks at the bar)
We also enjoyed some of the tours, Island tour, Jeep safari and of course the two day Meteora-Olympus-Vergina, it was amazing.
We really miss the island of Thassos and the hotel, we plan to come back to the same hotel.

Last year I was in Thassos, this year I'm going to Crete. I am still choosing a hotel, but I decided to remember about the last vacation and write. I rested with two children (6 and 12 years old) in this hotel from 14 to 28 August. We took "all inclusive" so as not to worry about food. We are always guided by this indicator when searching for a hotel.

Last year I was in Thassos, this year I'm going to Crete. I am still choosing a hotel, but I decided to remember about the last vacation and write. I rested with two children (6 and 12 years old) in this hotel from 14 to 28 August. We took "all inclusive" so as not to worry about food. We are always guided by this indicator when searching for a hotel. According to the reviews I read that the food is good, so I was not very worried about it. In principle, we were not mistaken with the hotel. There was always something to eat. I wouldn't say it's too different. But here to each his own. For someone, even 10 types of meat at dinner will not be enough. And someone will be very happy with omelettes of 2 types. If we talk about the way to the hotel, then far, of course. But the children were delighted with the ferry. We flew to Thessaloniki, and from there, first by bus, and then by ferry to Thassos. Swim for 40 minutes. But the ferry does not pump. It's big and hasn't been a problem. By the way, I have never seen such impudent seagulls anywhere. They sit right on their hands and ask for food. The children, of course, were delighted and squealed with joy there, and I strained every time. But the impressions in children will definitely remain from feeding seagulls for the rest of their lives.
The hotel itself is small, but that's more of a plus than a minus. And the beach is literally 2 steps away. This is a great place for kids, I can say. The entrance is sandy and there are no sea urchins. For me, this is also important. The beach itself is big enough. In length. As we were told, about 10 km. Rooms are small, but wi-fi catches well. There are swimming pools and a gym. From the entertainment in the hotel there is nothing. Everything is quiet and calm there, but this is not a problem. You can go one day to a tavern nearby. It's called Olga. There is a Greek evening. For children, I'm not sure that it will be interesting, but I went once when I put my people to bed. I like it. Music and dancing are great. There are also Russian-speaking employees. So, there is no problem with the language. I think that for a budget holiday - this is a very decent option. And the kids will love it too if you entertain them.

Badly. Perhaps the worst experience in the last 6-7 years. Service, staff work does not meet all basic requirements. With cleaning business is bad - it is not present. Very bad with paid services. Memories of nutrition are extremely unpleasant, both in terms of the composition of the dishes and the sanitary condition of the "canteen".

Memories of nutrition are extremely unpleasant, both in terms of the composition of the dishes and the sanitary condition of the "canteen". The location is extremely uninteresting. Some positive from the sea itself and its condition (but be careful - there are stones in the sand at the bottom), but this is no longer a hotel. In a word - a unkempt Romanian-Bulgarian-Serbian-Moldovan caravanserai...

The hotel area is very green, surrounded by flowers, pines and palms. We liked the hotel clean rooms, after renovation, there is everything you need, hair dryer, safe for a fee (1.5 euros), air conditioning. The restaurant is good, food for every taste, buffet, you can choose whatever you like. We also liked that there are many shops around the hotel, taverns and a pharmacy without having to go anywhere. The hotel is located near the village of Skala Rakhoni where you can take a walk and visit the church of St. Paraskeva.
We were also delighted with the excursions and, of course, with the guides, we were on excursions around the island, Meteora (this is a miracle) and on a sailboat, the sensations are indescribable.

This is our first review, so don't judge too harshly. My family and I rested on the island of Thassos, from May 14 to May 23.2014. Wonderful hotel in the village of Skala Rachoni, Rachoni 3***. The beach is just awesome! Pine trees grow right on the beach. The hotel is not just on the first line, but in fact 20 meters from the sea! By the way, we rested according to the type of all-inclusive.

The beach is just awesome! Pine trees grow right on the beach. The hotel is not just on the first line, but in fact 20 meters from the sea! By the way, we rested according to the type of all-inclusive. I liked the food, you can even say that it is better than Turkish. Near the hotel there is everything you need: a tavern where, by the way, they speak Russian, and where you can go in the evening, a mini market, where there is also everything you need. Thassos is amazing. Lots of greenery! And what a sea! Clean, with a stunning color of water, transparent so that the bottom can be seen even at a depth of five meters! ! The hotel is cleaned daily, the territory, although not large, but clean and well-groomed. Lots of greenery. The owner of the hotel is a kind, educated person with an amazing knowledge of English, kept us company in the evenings. Several times we rode to the capital of the island, the town of Limenas. We went by taxi 10 euros per car one way. Together with four, it came out at 2.5 per person, that is, almost for nothing)) In Limenas, they found a nightclub that was working, despite the beginning of the season, where they had fun.

Very good location of the hotel - right on the beach. 2 pools. The rooms are sufficiently atishni light. Nice view from the window. But in the complaint book, I saw that many people complain about the food, there are a lot of negative reviews. Some people generally say that the food at the hotel ruined their vacation.
