Hostal Miranda

Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. È ben posizionato ma potrebbe essere migliore il rumore e l'aria condizionata.

Siamo appena tornati da un lungo weekend a Blanes e da un fantastico soggiorno all'Hostal Miranda. Ero preoccupato dopo aver letto alcune recensioni precedenti, ma non c'era motivo di esserlo una volta arrivati. La prima impressione è stata quanto fosse davvero pulito l'intero posto. Le camere erano confortevoli e il personale incredibilmente disponibile e ben informato. Sì, è semplice, ma cosa ti aspetti da questo budget. Concordo sul fatto che le camere avrebbero bisogno di aria condizionata ma eravamo felici di aprire una finestra. La strada era lontana dalla "strada principale" suggerita da altri ma se il rumore vi dà fastidio, basta prendere dei tappi per le orecchie e dormirete tutta la notte. La spiaggia è molto vicina sia al lato della città vecchia che al lato turistico (olandese). I bar locali sono molto accoglienti (soprattutto lo Shamrock Bar) e il supermercato due porte più in là è davvero utile. Nel complesso è stata un'ottima scelta con un budget limitato.

I usually do not write bad reviews, however this place made me absolutely appalled. For context, I have booked this hotel on loveholidays with images of blue beautifully decorated rooms for a cheap price near the beach for me and my mum to relax. I have booked a double bed no balcony room. Let start with the check in. We entered the reception, and the lady at the reception demanded for a charge of 6 euros before giving out keys. Once asked what the charge was for, the lady stated “ everyone in this place pay so you have to pay”. Hold on, I have already paid for the whole 5 night stay with this hostel? The lady did not give a reasonable reason as for why they need more from us. Nor does it state anywhere that there will be a charge. Regardless we have paid because there’s no way around it. Let’s start with the state the room was. We entered the room and were in a brink of tears. It was a twin bed room, with thin brown sheet to cover the beds. That’s it. The place smelled old, the bathroom had a bathtub that was stained brown and yellow from age and god knows what, the tiles were chipping and rotting away. They love to portray how beautiful their reception is, but only show one image of a fake decorated bedroom on their website. Once reviewing all of this, me and my mum have decided to check out 30minutes after checking in. The lady at the reception was passive aggressive and was giving faces once she asked why. Once we stated we are no longer interested and will just look elsewhere, she took the keys and walked away. What kind of service are these people taught? You enter the reception and the person sitting at the desk cannot even smile? Poor girl looks like she hates her job. After this we brought a booking for a hotel with a private kitchen, living room and swimming pool down the road. I am writing to express my advice. If you are a person that is looking for someone to sleep, and do not care about hygiene, please go ahead. However we were fooled by the images that were portrayed and the description.
