Best Western - accommodation in Mati

My honest review is based on my 3 day stay. First, I was told by the taxi/uber driver to stay in at night because the area was sketchy. It was. The hotel is nice but the surroundings seem full of vagrants. I was not thrilled with my room because the carpet was flat, outdoor type carpet squares, it my bed was very comfortable and the room was nicely air conditioned. I was next to the hotel gym (room 448) so I heard lots of weights being dropped and the door slamming, but overall it was quite. I had no view at all other than the backside of another building. The shower had a rainfall shower head which I don’t care for and the temperature kept fluctuating from hot to cold, but there was also a handheld shower wand which helped greatly. I needed ice for my knee due to an injury and found out there was no ice available u less I called room service and would have to pay for that charge. To be fair in this review, the rooftop bar and restaurant area was amazing. The drinks were great and so was the food. There was an amazing breeze and wonderful view of the acropolis. I did not swim in the rooftop pool only because there were too many people in it. My overall thoughts are that if the hotel was in a better area, closer to shopping, I would stay again for the rooftop but upgrade my room. At this time, however, I will not stay again.

Excellent stay as always

Staff were wonderfully helpful and kind. Room was small; bathroom was tiny but sufficient. The neighborhood isn't the greatest, but didn't feel unsafe.
