We were there for 1 night with my wife, and we didn't like being there at all, and it is really overpriced.
Pros:
- It is near the mountain.
Cons:
- Rooms are dirty. We noticed a used cigarette in a room (we don't smoke and there's even label "don't smoke", funny).
- Fake photos of the rooms. Don't look at Alida Hotel's room photos, because they were made many years ago. Reality is completely different. Rooms look like in an old hotel.
- Staff. It is a subjective opinion, but when I first write to staff to ask a question I expect simple “Hi” and “Thank you”/”You are welcome”/”Have a nice day”. There was no anything like that.
- Staff didn’t allow us to stay until evening, though there were not many people in the hotel. As they said, checking out is at 11:30. We came to the hotel at 19:00 and you can’t allow us to check out at 19:00 the next day? And you require payment for all the 24 hours (50$). I think it’s not fair. You didn’t even suggest to stay 1 more hour or anything, staff don’t care.
- Overpriced. We chose one of the most expensive hotel in the city. The cost was 50$ for 1 night. It is the nearest hotel to the mountain. And we expected something, you know, really good. But it is a simple old hotel with old bad dirty rooms. I wouldn’t pay them more than 20$ if I could choose again. The only plus is a hotel near to the mountain and that’s why they ask so high price.
I highly recommend NOT staying in this hotel.
