Crystallo Apartments

I do not recommend this hotel. The furniture is old, and the second bed looked like an old hospital bed. The bathroom was in such poor condition that I didn’t feel comfortable taking a shower. Everything felt very worn out. The biggest issue was that they brought a bus of teenagers who had a loud party outdoors by the pool. We asked them to stop because we paid for a hotel room, not a nightclub, and our 10-month-old baby had just recovered from a fever and was still sick. The receptionist was very arrogant and said nothing could be done. The loud music and noise continued even at midnight.

It was clean, yet disgusting. The bathroom in the photos was completely different from the one we found. We were given a room in what the receptionist described as the newer part of the hotel, but after what we saw, I don't even want to imagine what the older part looks like. This place should have undergone a complete renovation long ago; the furniture is old and battered. The kitchen appliances are yellow with age. The bathroom door is so warped it won't close, and the shower curtain was so hideous I didn't dare use it. The soundproofing was very poor, the lighting was like a mortuary, and the windows were filthy. To make matters worse, after the first night, while we were away, the sofa simply disappeared from the room. I didn't care for it, but no one even asked, and that's a complete disgrace to the staff. The staff was also strange; the cleaning ladies, who don't have an easy job in this neglected museum, held a higher standard than the reception staff. In two days, I encountered three receptionists, none of whom even managed a smile. We had a straightforward interaction: check-in, coffee purchase, check-out, no complaints or unusual demands on my part, and I felt like I was intruding. Overall, it was the standard of a poor 1990s motel. I wonder how my compatriots, who left enthusiastic reviews that I believed, live. For this property to impress me, I'd have to live in a shack or under a bridge. I didn't pay the price for the Hilton, so I wasn't expecting fluffy carpets, but what I found at Crystallo Apartments is a harsh lesson for me to delve deeper into opinions. There's a phrase in Poland: "businessmen in white socks," that's how I imagine the owners of Crystallo Apartments. A normal hotelier would be embarrassed to invite guests to such a shabby establishment. On the plus side, it's close to historical sites and the airport shuttle.

Definitely a great place to stay. It's a short walk to the center/beach.
