Hotel through the eyes of tourists: reviews
Most of the guests who spent their weekend in this cozy place were satisfied: the cleanliness both in the rooms and on the territory made a pleasant impression. People expressed special thanks to the attentive and courteous staff. There were no complaints about nutrition. The excellent menu and homely atmosphere make the pastime unforgettable at the Alol Hotel.
The recreation center is distinguished by hospitality and friendliness. True, some noted that it used to be quieter and calmer here than today. More and more often young companies come here who love to listen to loud music and dance, and this prevents those who want privacy and peace. The administration suppresses this kind of entertainment and keeps order.
