General impression
Hotel California 4 *, despite significant shortcomings, is still one of the most popular in Gelendzhik. This is largely due to the optimal ratio of price and quality of services provided. Also, we can not say about the proximity of the institution to the sea. Perhaps the main advantage of the hotel is the heated rooftop pool. Guests will certainly appreciate the availability of a complimentary breakfast, as well as the possibility of ordering a comprehensive meal.
Unfortunately, this hotel is not without drawbacks. Despite the fact that the institution is relatively new, there are already a lot of malfunctions and scuffs that are not resolved in a timely manner. The distance from the city center creates some inconvenience for outdoor enthusiasts. It is also worth noting that if you relax during the off-season, some of the hotel services will not be available to you.
