Amalay

The second worst hotel I have ever stayed in, dirty smelly noisy with what looked like a rubbish dump at the rear, bed linen was questionable and the beds were nothing more than metal sprung put you ups with legs on springs, one night was enough and we booked an apartment round the corner on air bnb which was just fabulous……avoid this hotel at all costs.

Currently 5 days into a 7 day stay. Arrived late on Friday. To be kept awake from constant noise from outside. External door to balcony didn’t close properly making it impossible to sleep. For 2 nights in a row. Staff offered me a room move to the back of the hotel. Which I agreed on ! Then I had to contend with noise inconsiderate guests in the room opposite! Making excessive noise laughing and closing doors very loudly for 2 nights in a row. Still no sleep ! I complained to staff yet again. And now I’ve had a repeat. Again in the early hours I have another early morning trip a very long trip with on a few hours. Not happy at all !!!’n

The hotel is a short walk from the nearest airport shuttle stop, arriving at the hotel over 2 hours into check-in time however my room wasn’t ready for me to go in upon arrival. I did wait approx. 10 minutes for the housekeeper to finish up which I didn’t mind waiting for the room to be cleaned. The room and hotel is very budget including a double bed with air conditioning, en suite, and small balcony looking over the road and traffic below. The room is relatively small but still enough for a solo traveler. The shower was in poor hygienic condition and had black sticky grout in between the tiles, making me not feel totally clean afterward. I believe this could be easily clean as the normal water pressure of the shower head was flaking away the grout when pointed closely at it. The hotel has quite an old aesthetic with stairways being poorly lit and dim. The breakfast was a highlight though, offering a tasty Moroccan style breakfast and tea to start the day.
