Leonardo Gordon Beach

From the moment I walked out of my cab and into the lobby of this hotel I knew that I had made a mistake in booking this room. But unfortunately having booked it through “Trip.com” I knew I was screwed and no one would be responsible to hear my concerns. One thing I needed to understand was that a “Prepaid” hotel is done, hotel will get their money regardless of what concerns one might have about the conditions of their facility. To sum it up, this hotel is extremely old and dirty, you can smell the stink of decomposing carpets from the outside. This hotel has a major plumbing issue, so be very careful; he showers and toilets get flooded and the sewerage bubbles up creeps out of the toilets. The staff is one after next numb to the hotel guest complaints and they don’t care about anyone’s concern. This hotel needs to be shut down and I don’t understand why it’s still in operation. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL, YOU WILL REGRET IT.

This is hotel for easy goers and flexible people not very demanding. I had great expectations as it belongs to recogmized Leonardo chain but I was wrong. The pink building surrounded by pink walls andl facilities is perfect only for Barbie. Besides it is almost impossible to find the entrance even fot experienced taxi drivers. There is a decadent atmosphere around the immediate neighborhood . The breakfast was extremely expensive and I decided to have it elsewhere. The apt twas very small and the only view was of pigeons over the roof. Ok, I admit the location is great but that iis it .

We paid 200 euro a night for this below average hotel that's literally falling apart. Let me add context, we live in Brussels, Europe's most expensive capital after Amsterdam. For 200 euro in Brussels you can stay at the 4 star Warwick Brussels, the 4 star Harmon House, in Amsterdam you can stay at the 4 star innside by Milea Hotels.... You get the idea. All these included weekend peak prices. So what's so bad..... 1. The hotel is literally falling apart, see the pictures. 2. The staff don't like foreigners, that's very evident because service is NON EXISTENT - from checking in to asking questions... Zero, just attitude (e.g. when we checked in we explained to the boy on front desk, ego spent more time worrying over his appearance than looking after us, that our cases had been lost and we had no clothes or toiletries and where could we find one please "there are lots" was what we got - not helpful) 3. They must have a deal with taxi companies as according to reception going anywhere, (old port, Azreili mall, Hacarmel market) required a taxi, also the only way to buy bus passes is at tourist offices, so we're Belgian, we don't do just paying money out, we walked 15-20 mins to Azreili mall and got the transport ticket. Uber is non existent, which again tells me that it's a price fixing scam. 4. It's just a basic hotel in desperate need of renovation and improvement - the rooftop pool is just bad, a basic fibreglass tub stuck on the roof with badly installed decking around it. 10 nis or 2.70 euro for a coke! 5. If you like your hotel on the beach, yep this has that, but God help you if your room is roadside, as the front of the hotel is under/in the concrete main road! Also midweek parties that go on until 5am are a thing. 6. The walls are toilet paper thin, you can hear every other room, everything sand for a light sleeper this is a problem. 7. LGBTQIA+ - THERE'S A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACCEPTANCE (which they don't) AND TOLERANCE (barely, in-between judgment and sniggering) this hotel and Israel has far to go to match Belgium, Netherlands, even Malta. Not worth the money, but as they make you pay up front you can't leave, you're stuck with it. You've been warned, the rest is up to you.
