Bulvar Hotel

Room smelled of smoke, sink needed unblocked. Interior and rooms were outdated. The day staff at reception take a long time to even acknowledge you, and take a very long time bringing your car around. They didn't even label my car key with my room number and had it mixed up with another key! The worst part of the experience was when checking out, they asked if I had used anything from the mini bar, which I replied I had not. After checking me out, they told me to not to leave until they checked my room, first I've ever come across this at any hotel. They tried to charge me for a can of Cola which they had seen in the bin. The can was from my Domino's order which they could see from the packaging, the can was also a different design from the one's in the mini bar which still had the original cans of Cola from checking in. Such audacity! The breakfast is decent along with the evening/early morning staff. Location is very ideal. However, there are cheaper and better hotels in the area with much better service.

Staff we’re fairly rude at check-in, and added a €20/night charge for the booking being for 1 person rather than 2. Other than that, we’re very cold and unwelcoming the rest of the time. As well, housekeeping did not come once during the 3 night stay. I booked a room with a terrace; the room itself was quite spacious, and the balcony was nice with a slight bit of an ocean view (mostly obstructed by buildings infront). The bed was comfortable, and the room had adequate amenities. However, the room did get extremely hot throughout the day, and the A/C was not strong enough to keep up with demand. Location is right by pasaport pier, so it is a nice spot to walk along the water. it is not very close to transit, and other than a few restaurants and cafes there is not a lot in the immediate area.

Their rooms are small and a bit dingy. They also don’t have any non-smoking rooms; hence, smoke smell. Bathroom was in disrepair and there was a hole on the bed cover sheet. The guest who came to the next room at midnight made noise until I knocked on their door at 2:30 a.m. The walls are so thin that it was as if they were in our room. For American travelers: This hotel was at Motel 6 level. O.K. for one night but I wouldn’t stay longer or go back for another stay. However, the area this hotel was located was very nice, close to the water, restaurants, and shops.

This well positioned, comfortable hotel is staff by helpful friendly people - and the breakfast options were good.
