Albatros Hotel

My friend and I were on holiday and she bought this travel via agence “lastminute”. From 22 till 29 September 2024 we occupied room 201 in this hotel "Albatros" in Syracusa. POSITIVE side: good bathroom, beds, air conditioning, and good friendly working staff, they changed towels and made the bed every day.THANK YOU... NEGATIVE side: there is a complete lack of objective and reliable information. 1-location of the hotel in the middle of a large field, where there are no shops, cafes or take away etc at all. 2-access to the hotel ONLY by car or taxi! That is, we didn’t have a driver's license and extra money for a taxi (£20 one way). We can't walk to the town center, because there are high-speed roads and along them there are no pedestrian sidewalks at all. (risk of accident). renting bicycles is not an option for those who have not used them for a long time. And we are 55+ that is, walking for more one hour in the heat is impossible. So we were forced stay in the hotel our entire holiday. Small swimming pool (for children, depth 1.30m) with cold clean water, all the exercise gim are working, but it was impossible to be in this area because attack of a lot of wasps, mosquitoes, flies. In our room there is no balcony and a place to dry towels, swimsuits, no microwave oven for cooking and no free coffee and miniral water. At first there were several bags of tea that were not brought after at all. In the hotel there was only breakfast (not have service to lunch and dinner). breakfast with a poor choice. There is nothing hot (porridge, omelet, beans, sausages, bacon) no vegetables. If you come to breakfast around 10 am (closing time) you might not even get a sandwich. The TV had only one music channel. We not found an English news channel. Wi-Fi doesn’t work around/ outside the hotel. It was too borring time and too muny problems in this hotel. Most photos of webside not true. In endid, they charged us a tourist tax of £20 yet. FOR WHAT? For get mostly stress and a ruined terrible holiday. I am upset of lost money, the price does not match the quality. I am surprised why the hotel has 4 stars. I won’t give my recommend to stay in this hotel for holiday, just for transit over night.

Comfortable big room and bathroom with great balcony. Clean and finally a hotel with a good bed. Big swimming pool, parking facilities good, breakfast reasonable. Staff very friendly. Only one disappointment that there was no facility to have something to eat in the evening. The hotel is next to a main road and there are no restaurants in the direct environment.

E’ un hotel grande e bello con una bella piscina e una palestra vicino alla piscina e ci sono tanti piante di limoni tutti i balconi si affacciano sulla piscina o sulle piante di limoni ha un bel bagno una colazione saziante le stanze sono belle
