Hotel Arges

Totally worth it.

I've stayed here twice, both times booked through booking, and both times the reservation was cancelled after I had left, with the claim that I hadn't honored it. This year the woman at reception was unpleasant. Instead of politely telling us check-in starts after 2:00 PM, her attitude was enough to make us leave. The location is the only real plus, since it's closer to the beach and a little cheaper. That lower price makes sense, though, because it hasn't been renovated since the '90s. I don't recommend staying here.

The place smelled strongly of mold from the entrance, and there was no cleaning in our room even after we asked. The staff seemed completely uninterested in helping, and reception was available only when they felt like showing up. They also work with other hotels for modernized rooms, but what you find when you arrive is a harsh surprise. Worst accommodation possible. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

We arrived at 19:00, but reception was only available from 10:00 to 16:00, so a maid showed us into the hotel and then to our rooms. My husband and I got a miserable room. The “shower cabin” looked like it was from Ceaușescu's time, and the curtain was moldy. The whole hotel had a strong mold smell. The doors creaked like in a horror movie, and soundproofing was basically nonexistent 😂 There was lots of dust on the “wardrobe,” no toilet paper, and I don't understand why they don't offer daily housekeeping. Worst of all, the bed was broken. I literally rolled over the first time I tried it)))
