Alona Rose Hotel by SMS Hospitality

I booked a Standard Double Room for one night. The room was quite compact with the bed and wardrobe taking up most of the space. There was a kettle, 2 cups, 2 coffee sachets. The mattress was okay and the bed was generally firm. The bed also had 3 pillows and a thin sheet. The AC worked well and had no trouble cooling the room. With the AC temp turned up to 24c, the thin sheet was fine for me. The bathroom was basic, but had everything needed. The shower was open, but had a curtain and guard to prevent splashes onto the floor. The toilet had a bidet and toilet tissue. The hotel also provided bathroom kit and two towels. Location wise, the hotel is a few minutes walk to the beach and the nightlife area of Alona Beach. It's quieter than being on the beachfront, which is preferable to the noise. The road the hotel is on is in need of maintenance though. The only slight complaints were the thin curtains (okay because I had sleep mask) and, there wasn't a desk and chair to work one (not a big deal for one day) Overall I had a good stay and there's very little to complain about for the price. The staff were friendly and helpful, and although I only stayed one night, I would happily stay longer.

The room was large and clean. It was well equipped; had a kettle to make coffee and had good aircon. The location is great; just 2-3 min walk to the beach and same to the main road with restaurants.

The room faced the reception. If you don’t like aircon, it makes it difficult to keep the window open and get air circulating. There is also no natural light in the room and you hear everything that happens in the reception area. Luckily they close the reception from 9 to 6.
