Viking Beach Hotel

Pros: First line and location. Somehow they clean it up... When I moved to another hotel (it was a planned move, and not because I didn’t want to be there), I forgot my blouse. I contacted the reception and they returned the blouse, thank you. Of the minuses: It’s so crowded on the beach that you can’t put your foot between the sun loungers. And this is not a turn of phrase, it is literally true. But there is a city beach nearby, a sun lounger for a dollar. We went there. In the sea, fish bite your legs, and very strongly. I've been to other hotels and this didn't happen. No animation. Nearby at the Miranda Hotel there is a disco every evening, and everyone is allowed in (music, of course, a la Tender May, but at least it’s something). The atmosphere there is more pleasant. What surprised me was that the security was very vigilant. This is not bad, but... a friend came to visit me. She was staying at another hotel, but since she arrived very early, we wanted to stay with me until 12 o'clock, and then she would check into her hotel. From experience, I know that you can arrange a guest visit and the guest can be “visiting” until 23.00. Here they told me that it was possible to arrange a guest visit, but they would not let her go beyond the reception. As a result, we went to her hotel. She was accommodated there earlier; they let me see the room. They offered me coffee and said if I refused, they wouldn’t let me into her room. I refused, but they let me in))))) This is the difference in attitude towards guests... And also, for those who, like me, bought a tour to Bonn. They promised me a large window, but they put me in a room with almost no window. I asked, are all the rooms like this? The answer was, yes, everyone is like that.. Later, the regulars of this hotel told me that everyone is accommodated in Olympus. There are such narrow windows overlooking another hotel, and in Bonn there are really large windows, but people pay an extra $50 for that. I have not checked this information... In general, if the hotel is used for an overnight stay, then it is possible. But you can find cheaper accommodation for the night.

We stayed at this hotel in July 2022. Usually I don’t write reviews, but this is just a rush of the soul (perhaps someone will find the review useful and he will choose another hotel). The hotel is located in the center, on the 1st line, near the sea, it has its own beach, pleasant staff in the bar and dining room, this is where the pluses end for me personally. We checked into a room on the 4th floor, we didn’t have an elevator, but it’s not critical, you get used to it by the end of your vacation, and sports are always useful! The room was relatively clean, the renovation was cosmetic, but everything was very flimsy, the plumbing was old, the balcony was very small, for those who travel, we recommend taking a clothesline to dry clothes, as there is something like a dryer hanging on the side, but it is small and rusty. The room had a refrigerator, a TV that was turned away from the wall opposite the bed, a hair dryer with protruding wiring. We got a room with a leaking sink, but this problem was fixed by the workers. Towels were changed every day, the floors were wiped only in the toilet, sink, toilet bowl, shower, floors in the room, no one washed the balcony, so the cleanliness, in my opinion, is in a deplorable state. The food was delicious, but monotonous, almost everything is the same every day, in the evening they usually made it hot on the grill (this is a plus). There were queues every lunch and dinner, mostly because of one tray of meat. The hotel has its own beach, but there are not enough sunbeds for everyone, and the sunbeds are taken from 5.30, there are alternative paid beaches nearby, but we went to the city's free beach, because overpaying for sunbeds, in my opinion, is too much. I would like to pay special attention to the Internet - there is no free Wi-Fi in the hotel, nowhere! If you want to pay internet ($15 per week) and you will get a half-dead internet (worked very badly!!!). In my opinion, this is a complete stinginess of the owner of the hotel! In general, if you are not picky about living conditions, cleanliness, food, a tourist, then you will like this hotel! Of course, I repeat, a big plus is the sea!

The ticket was to Bonn Beach, and they gave River Rock bracelets. Where is the hotel in Bonn, and where Olimpos did not understand. General reception, building, dining room, beach. It looks like they settle where they want to. There are no special complaints about the hotel, more complaints about vacationers. BEACH next to the hotel, 2 minutes and you are there. The hotel has a lot of ladders - so with strollers, on crutches and with a stick is not your option. Very small coastline. There is not enough space for sun loungers, as well as just free space on the beach. Some take on themselves, granddaughters and that neighbor 5 sun loungers at 5 in the morning, sometimes in the evening. Then they go to sleep until 12 o'clock, sometimes they can go on an excursion for the whole day. And on the beach, mostly towels, shorts, glasses, stones, hats sunbathe. Adequate vacationers are forced to lie on the ground between these sun loungers, or on the lawn above the beach. Some buy seats on a nearby beach. The owner of this hotel should be ashamed, his guests go around the neighbors like beggars. The manager sent us to the bartender on the beach, who had to find a place within 30 minutes, removing ownerless things. But the employee on the beach performs this duty reluctantly. Made an announcement once. Things as they lay from morning to evening, and remained lying. And people sunbathed on the ground or on a nearby beach (for a fee). All guests paid the same for the beach, but someone dries their swimwear / glasses / hats / towels on a sun lounger, while the rest have to sunbathe on the ground or pay for this service again to a neighboring hotel. If the sunbed is free, it is most likely broken. If the practice of freeing sun loungers was constant, then people would not leave their things just like that. And also introduce a fine (as they do in some hotels), then up to 50% of the sunbeds would be released. One granny, foaming at the mouth, proved her case for 4 sun loungers, which she occupied at 5 in the morning. By 10 o'clock one granddaughter appeared, at 12 o'clock the second, and the fourth lounger was left without an owner, but with a sunbathing bag. The man took 2 sun loungers for himself and his wife, the wife never came, and after 2 hours he left on an excursion, leaving instead of himself sunbathing towels and pebbles. Still annoying smokers. For some reason, they are sure that non-smokers around them are eager to sniff their cigarette smoke, so they move away from their families and sit down with a crowd of non-smokers and start smoking in their backs, and preferably in their faces. A request to mothers, teach your children that pissing in the sea (and in the pool) is indecent! It was unpleasant when a 6-year-old boy took off his swimming trunks near the shore and began to urinate in the sea, and his parents only giggled encouragingly ... ... ... ... CLEANING: The first impression of the room was SHOCK. On the second day, they let go: after looking around, they decided that they didn’t give it any worse. Relatively clean linen and towels. Everything is painted white, everything is very economical, rusty faucets, slippery oil floor?! But everything worked. Towels weren't changed, bed sheets weren't even cleaned once. Therefore, you should not throw dirty towels on the floor, they will even shake them off and
