Hotel Anita

Fairly average hotel in Becici. It feels all the more average when you start to look around at the imposing 4 and 5 star resorts that swallow this little hotel on the main street or throughway. I will detail in full the positives and benefits of this hotel. Let's start with the positives. Location is good! The hotel is on the main throughway, and you can easily walk to nearby restaurants and cafes. There is a small convenience store on the same side of the street about 70 metres walk, and a large supermarket called "Mega Market" about 200 metres or so from the hotel. Again on the same side of the street, tucked away on one of the side streets, but you can't miss it. The supermarket is well stocked with everything you could need! The hotel is good value compared to the mega monster 4 and 5 star resort hotels that dominate this small town. For just one night's stay, I couldn't rationalize spending hundreds of dollars on accommodation. This hotel is a great budget option for travellers who are in search of a place to shower and rest for the night. The hotel has a little kitchenette with a stove top and a mini fridge. No pots and pans, plates or cutlery, but there was a little kettle pot, a single spoon, 2 glasses and 2 coffee mugs. With this, I was able to mix up a few packets of instant coffee in the morning. Unexpected and pleasant surprise. The fridge was appreciated! Wifi signal was very strong throughout the hotel, and in the room. No issues with connectivity. There is a flatscreen tv in the room, with very limited international channels, but I was able to find a news channel in English and for me that was sufficient. Air conditioning worked very well in the room. There was also the option to open the windows in the room, but with the hotel overlooking the busy main street I wouldn't recommend this option. The rain shower was awesome! Excellent water pressure, and temperature. Many towels in the room - 2 hand towels and 2 large bath towels. Curiously, no floor mat. Negatives: The shower was only half enclosed, with a glass partition, therefore water covered the floor after you have a shower. No bath/floor mat was provided, oddly, so I put a hand towel on the floor to mop up the excess water. The kitchenette is a great idea, but absolutely no cooking pots, pans or utensils were provided, rendering the kitchenette quite useless for long term stays. The design of the bathroom was bizarre, with the door opening on the toilet, blocking the toilet. It was really awkward to navigate the space. Poor design. The hotel is in need of renovation. The furniture in the room is quite dated, and the wooden bed frame creaks like you wouldn't believe. Very noisy. The bed was really uncomfortable. The mattress was hard/firm but sunk when you sat down on it. At times, it felt like you were sleeping on the wood frame. It was fine for one night, but I wouldn't appreciate sleeping on a bed like that for several nights. The bedding sheets were clean and

Briefly: simple hotel close to the beach, grocery store and a bus stop.

Location. Pros:
Located close to the beach (second line) within a few minutes of walking. It is also located close to the grocery store, a bus stop and a nice restaurant.
Location. Cons:
The hotel is located right in front of the main road which means that you won't be able to sleep with the balcony doors open. There is an Air Conditioner inside, but about it - below. This also means that to get to the beach you will have to go up the bridge and then go down to the beach. Across the road there is another huge hotel, that blocks all the beach view, so don't expect to see a beach from your number.

Services. Pros:
A very welcoming administrator, that will explain everything you need, will provide extra pillows and kitchen appliances if needed (like knife, salt, plates etc.). She also kept tickets for the tour, that our tour-operator left for us when we were away, so a big thank you for her.
There is also a spa with massage on the fifth floor and an underground parking.
On the ground floor there is a bar with a place where you can eat.
Services. Cons:
Restaurant serves only breakfasts and dinners.
You can not chose what you want to eat. Whatever they prepare - is the only option. So if you are a vegetarian or vegan or you eat halal or kosher food or you have to keep medical diet - you should consider to not include breakfasts and dinners in your booking, since you can't chose what you would like to eat.

Room. Pros:
Our room had most of the conveniences we required. It has comfortable enough bed, a small kitchen, mirror, a TV, plastic table for two on the balcony, hairdryer, an Air Conditioner, a small fridge, a wardrobe and surprisingly pretty nice bathroom.
There were some pretty good blinds on the doors to the balcony. Towels were changed daily. There was also a bar of soap on the sink when we moved in.
A wifi had a pretty good signal in the room and was free.
Room. Cons:
The biggest downer was the smell of tobacco smoke in the room, when we moved in. The worst - is that this smell was coming from the air conditioner mostly. Among the photos there is a photo of the air conditioner state. When we complained about the smell of smoke, a room keeper came in and sprayed an air refresher a fee times in the room and inside the air conditioner. Not surprisingly - that worked for around 15 minutes. The smell mostly disappeared on the third day. And we never turned on the AC again.
Also the room really lacks some sort of hooks. There was nowhere to leave a hat after the beach. All the towels and swimsuits had to dry on the rails on the balcony. Even the towels from the hotel were all over the place (on the bed, on the doors, on the toilet and on the shower cabin) simply because there was no hooks in the number.
The hotel did not provide us with shower gel or shampoo. There was a soap dispenser in the shower cabin, but it was empty all the time.
Also, the TV has 14 channels, 4 of which were not working. The rest of the channels had nothing interesting to watch.

The trouble with trifles. Flow faucets, handles torveny of the cupboards. Otkazalis to move into assigned room, vebali another. The staff is sympathetic helps.
