Abalu Boutique Suites & Residences

We needed rooms at the last minute after our AirBnB lost power. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean with comfortable beds. Ours overlooked the courtyard, so it was quiet. The location was great, with lots to see, do, and eat within walking distance.

The location is the only good thing about this place. It felt like a hostel pretending to be a hotel. I paid 290 Euros a night for a room with gym mat flooring, a window that wouldn't close, and dust visible everywhere. I woke up with a stuffy nose and kept sneezing. The so-called jacuzzi bath was mouldy, and I really wished I'd brought slippers.

At 265 euros in mid-March, the room was in this condition. Ridiculous. The receptionist was arrogant, and they were completely inflexible. Check-in was so overcomplicated it was laughable. The room itself was in terrible shape, with disastrous walls and plumbing, and the window looked onto a dark hole. The jacuzzi couldn't be used because it had no drain plug. Its broken headrest had just been left in the tub, and the whole thing was unbearably loud, surely a nightmare for the neighbors. The only wardrobe was the one in the picture, supposedly enough for two people's clothes. There wasn't even a table or drawer to put anything on, nowhere to open a laptop, and nowhere to sit except the bed. The furniture and walls were worn, the air conditioner was rusting, and the view from below was the same "beautiful" sight. This place isn't worth a cent. Nobody should consider booking it.

I only stayed one night, and the room was clean. The hotel was nice, clean, and well located. Staff were friendly, and I liked the eclectic room decor.
