Hotel Maga

Sijainti hyvä mutta siihen se jääkin economy huoneessa

Huone oli pimeä ja vain yksi pistorasia koko huoneessa paitsi kylppärissä toinen

The location is fairly convenient, it’s near to Plaza del Charco where there are both restaurants and shops. HOWEVER that’s where the positives end because there is a huge downside to the location as it is near nightclubs and bars and although they say they close at 2am they’re actually open all night, closing at 7am, with music blaring and drunks screaming in the street to the point where it is TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE to sleep. I endured six days of no sleep and actually left a day early to stay in a different hotel because I couldn’t stand it any longer.

The first problem was the location, but coming in at a close second was the state of the room itself, because even in the middle of the day in bright sunlight you had to have a light on as there was absolutely no natural light due to the fact that the window was 2 feet away from a wall. The first picture is of the room at midday with no light on. It was literally pitch black! The window didn’t stay open so no air circulated through the room and there was no fan or AC, the room was unbearably hot and stuffy. The bathroom was disgusting, and the bed linen was covered with white crusty stains. The hotel is dilapidated to the point where I believe that it should be closed down.

The hotel is very close to the main bus station, the beach and the city center. It was also one of the cheapest hotels we found.

The furniture was very old and some things were broken. The hotel doesn’t look like on the photos at all! We had a hard time sleeping since it was so hot inside, even on cooler days and there was a loud construction site and party noise right in front of our window most of the time. It also seemed like the staff didn’t really care about their clients that much. Most of them could only speak Spanish and we had to wait a long time until our room was ready for checking in.
