Dinner
Rooms
However, the rooms also have several downsides. Many guests found the rooms to be old and dated with deteriorated conditions and insufficient soundproofing. Issues such as small room sizes, poor insulation, dated bathrooms still with bathtubs and worn-out furniture were common complaints. There were reports of cleanliness inconsistencies, such as rooms not being clean upon check-in and bed linens not being changed regularly. Some rooms lacked basic amenities like enough power outlets and there were occasional maintenance issues like water leaks and poor window insulation.
Despite these issues, the hotel’s prime location near the beach, bars and restaurants is a standout feature, making it a convenient choice for travelers. However, guests looking for modern and well-maintained accommodations might find the overall outdated condition of the rooms less than ideal.
Beds
Sofa beds received varied feedback; some guests found them surprisingly comfortable, while others felt they were very hard. There were also occasional complaints about the pillows being uncomfortable. Despite these minor issues, the overall sentiment points towards the hotel's commitment to providing quality bedding. The rooms are generally spacious, especially those accommodating four people with two sofa beds.
While there are a few logistical challenges such as the absence of an outlet in the bathroom and difficulties in parking, the hotel's prime location and new decor contribute positively to the overall experience. For travelers valuing comfort and centrality, Turial Old Town Ocean View remains a commendable choice.
Cleanliness
However, not all reviews are positive. Some guests encountered issues upon arrival, noting that the initial cleaning was poorly done with lingering odors and visible stains in some units. There were mentions of superficial cleaning practices and specific complaints about dirty bathtubs, mold in the bathrooms and deteriorating floors. A few guests highlighted maintenance issues, such as a persistent unpleasant smell from plumbing and presence of bugs.
Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's housekeeping team is often commended for their efforts and for many, the positive aspects of cleanliness outweighed the negatives. Overall, the hotel is recognized for its optimal location close to the beach and excellent convenience, but it could benefit from addressing the cleanliness inconsistencies to enhance guest satisfaction.
Staff
Despite these numerous positive remarks, there are occasional criticisms. A minority of guests found some staff members unhelpful or unfriendly, particularly at the reception. Instances of receptionists being unwilling to provide assistance or being overwhelmed did surface. However, these less favorable interactions seem to be outweighed by the general acknowledgment of the team's professionalism and warmth.
Special commendations are given to specific staff members like Pedro at reception, lauded for his friendliness and willingness to assist. Additionally, the bar and restaurant staff receive praise for their nice and accommodating nature. The cleaning staff also earns high marks for their excellent service.
Overall, the experience with the staff at Turial Old Town Ocean View is largely positive with emphasis on their helpful, friendly and accommodating demeanor, though room for improvement in consistency at the reception remains.
Wi-Fi
Pool
Beach
Guests revel in the convenience of being practically on the beach, often highlighting the remarkably short walk—sometimes just seconds—from their accommodations to the ocean. The location also places visitors in close proximity to both the bustling city center and a variety of shops, bars and restaurants, blending coastal relaxation with urban convenience.
Many praise the excellent beachfront views available directly from their rooms, enhancing their overall experience. In essence, the hotel's perfect and central location, coupled with direct beach access, makes it a prime choice for those seeking a seamless blend of seaside tranquility and vibrant city life.
Parking
It's important to note that on-site parking at the hotel is absent, leading to some guests needing to pay for parking separately, often at a high daily rate. Various reviews mention that finding parking can be challenging with some guests encountering difficulties such as limited spots and tight parking areas. Public parking is limited and no valet service is offered, which might be an issue during peak times. While some guests found parking to be convenient, others struggled with the cost and availability.
For those planning a visit, it is advisable to factor in the potential extra cost for parking and consider seeking out free street parking or nearby lots to avoid last-minute inconvenience.
Nightlife
However, this central location comes with its downsides. Many guests have reported significant noise from nearby bars and nightclubs with loud music and partying continuing late into the night, sometimes as late as 6 am. The noise from the street and the lack of soundproofing in the windows can make it difficult to rest, especially in rooms adjacent to the nightlife hotspots. Some reviews mention the constant noise making it hard to get a good night’s sleep with reports of music from nearby bars being particularly disruptive.
While the proximity to nightlife spots is ideal for party enthusiasts, those looking for a quieter stay might find the noise levels challenging. The hotel's centrality ensures that everything in Old Town is within easy reach, but the trade-off is the bustling and often noisy environment that comes with being at the heart of the action.
