Hotel Volga

We had a disappointing stay at the Hotel Volga. Considering it is rated 4 stars, it has none of the facilities or touches you would expect of a 4 star. The staff on reception were cold, unfriendly and unhelpful. The bar staff were lovely though. The rooms themselves were resourced with the bare minimum- no kettle or tea/ coffee making facilities, no extra touches in the bathroom. For example, the soaps in the dispensers were horrible- no creams or anything like that. However the air con was good.
During our stay, we left for an overnight stay in Barcelona and stayed at a wonderful 4 star hotel which was the polar opposite to Volga. We returned to a room which was still uncleaned and used glasses which we’d stacked to be taken down were just left there, the floor wasn’t swept. The pool is small and the same people would put their towels down on the beds every morning and hog the beds all day. Sometimes disappearing for hours. Staff did nothing to monitor this. There was no entertainment. The location itself is great and I think the hotel rides on that and therefore makes minimal effort for its guests. You felt like you were putting the reception out if you asked for toilet roll . My friend was told she’d have to get it for herself from reception.

Great location for beach access and has small pool too. Not really needed as very close to the beach. Lots of free sweets around reception great for small snack. Had room overlooking the beach/rail track which is inevitable, you can't escape the railtrack to be honest. Friendly staff even on my return after midnight who happily served us drinks. Wonderful shower and quiet room.
