    lack of shade
    high charges

    The location lacks shade around the pool area, making sunbathing unbearable. Additionally, I faced significant issues with the recommended tour agency. Lastly, the strict extra charges for guests using the amenities felt overly rigid, diminishing the overall experience.

    lack of shade
    poor management

    the rooftop pool was completely underwhelming, and let’s not even start on the lack of shade by the sunbeds. how very ordinary! I expected a welcoming upgrade for my troubles, but the staff didn’t seem to see my worth. it’s almost comical how poorly they manage guests' expectations. tried to be nice, but I just couldn’t.

    friendly staff
    great location

    I had a great stay for 2 nights in a Standard Double Room. The rooftop pool is beautiful, and the terrace is perfect for breakfast with a lovely view. The location is awesome. it’s super close to restaurants and bars. The staff were really helpful and friendly! 😊

    rooftop pool
    common area
    dark room

    The rooftop pool area offers a nice view but lacks shade, making it feel a bit exposed. The first floor has a spacious common area that could be a good hangout spot with some improvements.

    Rooms can be quite dark due to limited windows, with some even smelling like mold. The shower temperature has issues, fluctuating from tepid to cold, and towels seem worn. Noise is prevalent from the corridor and street, making it hard to get a peaceful rest. No elevator is available, so hauling luggage up the stairs can be a hassle, and access to the hotel requires buzzing in, often with no one present at the front desk to attend to guests.

    delightful breakfast
    refreshing rooftop pool
    slight room odor

    I had an amazing stay! The breakfast on the beautiful terrace was delightful, and the rooftop pool was a refreshing escape. However, the room had a slight odor, which was a bummer.

    great location but minor wi-fi issues

    The rooftop pool was a serene escape, perfect for unwinding after exploring. The friendly staff were always eager to assist with any needs. I particularly enjoyed breakfast on the roof terrace. the setting was lovely, and the coffee was fantastic! Additionally, the laundry service offered good prices and convenience during my stay.

    clean room
    helpful staff
    secure entrance
    cramped space
    lack of ventilation

    I stayed in a Standard Family Room for 3 nights. The room was pretty cramped, especially with a toddler, and the windows faced the hallway—no fresh air. Plus, we had to worry about forgetting the key inside. On the positive side, it was clean and everything worked, but the lack of ventilation was tough. The main door being locked gave a sense of security, though.

    rooftop pool
    attentive service
    ideal location
    unpleasant smell

    I recently stayed at Casa Villa Colonial By Akel Hotels for 4 nights and had a positive experience. The rooftop pool was a standout feature that provided a serene atmosphere for relaxation. I appreciated the attentive service from the staff, who were always eager to assist. The location was ideal, just a short 10-minute walk to the main strip of bars and restaurants, making it convenient for both work and leisure.

    The room did have an unpleasant smell of exhaust fumes.
