Hotel Dar

The location is as central as it gets. The rooms were reasonably clean and the breakfast, though very limited in choice, was tasty enogh. As long as you dont want espresso caffe which you cannot get at the breakfast.

The hotel refused to accept my credit card (they requested a visual inspection of my card even though the room has been paid for in advance) because my name wasnt embossed on it - this is how my bank issues them. No matter that the hotel has been paid for through booking.com, the bored lady at the reception has forced me to go search an ATM and to withdraw the money even though she had just made me fill a paper including tons of personal data (hello, GDPR) and a separate sheet confirming I would be fined 200 eur if I attempted smoking at the hotel premises. Not a very good start, not mentioning the fact that for a period of time (before the money were sent back to my bank account) I have effectively paid for the hotel twice. Hallways were dark and rooms had funny 90s design but at least they were clean enough. Soap, shampoo and so on were all of the very cheapest kind. My room had no air conditioning just a fan that did little to save me from a restless night during a hot summer day. Opening the window has just let in noise from the street, not any fresh air. I hoped that my morning coffee would help me to wake up a bit but there was no espresso machine (just filtered coffee) and not even if you were willing to pay extra for it - because the reastaurant was opening at eleven. Overall, even concerning the fact 50euro per night isnt really super expensive, my experience had nothing to do with a 4* hotel and you can do so much better for even less money. I wouldnt book hotel Dar again.
