J Hotel

Room was Clean. It had stove, fridge, washer and phone(No info on phone what number to call desk). After I figured out the TV remote--got it! They do not exchange money but bank 2 doors down on right. You have to go to the left, thru doors and its there. MOST places again do not take credit cards. AND they still love USD. Break: lots there but mostly local food. Did have rice, bread, Cf, Tea, pancakes, eggs(cold), cereal with warm milk, then 8 more locals. Did a tour thru them but no Credit card. $100. I thought a little high for what it was. Visited 3 things but they were FAR from the city. The outside door was weird. When I left the room the door did not lock. You have to push the bar on the hall side to lock it. I never knew if it was locked inside the room. Within walking, there were other rest and business. Its a 9 story building but only have rooms til 4th floor. Other businesses there. Front desk was great. I had arranged for airport pickup. For the forth time this trip, NOBODY there. A lady approached me for a taxi. Told her about hotel and she called them. They not coming, so I rode with her $25. Ride back with hotel was $30.

This hotel was picked as the first and last day of our Gadventures tour. Nice location hotel with AC and spacious rooms. Beds were very comfortable The staff is very friendly. They stored a big suitcase for me at no cost and helped ordering taxis Breakfast is very copious and delicious.

All staff are friendly and kind except one guy name Telman sitting front desk young guy with glasses (I’m hoping he said his name right when I asked him), dark hair, very rude guy screams and loses temper quickly. I had three incidents with him, once I had heavy smoke smell in my room, even though it’s non smoking Hotel someone in another room was smoking and smell coming to my room I told him and he lost temper started screaming, (the hotel should put smoke detectors in rooms so people won’t smoke) Second time I was asking for direction and I had to repeat what he said to make sure I understood the direction correctly, it was my first day in UB so I was not familiar with streets. He raised his voice and threw my map on his desk walked away to his computer and turned his face and literally ignored me. That is bad, very very bad and if he can not work in hospitality and has anger issues then he should not work in a hotel nor interact with people bec of his anger issue. Third was another issue again with him I won’t go in detail as my review is getting long. Telman is completely unhelpful and rude and screams when you talk to him. Sadly most staff don’t speak any English at all, so during his shifts he is the only one speaks English but he screams and looses temple fast. So it’s difficult to communicate with anyone else bec of language barrier and this Telman guy is rude. Only the location of this hotel is good, it is close to the square, 15 min walk to square, cross street there is a Nice to CU supermarket. Otherwise this Telman dude front desk is horrible. I’m hoping he said his name correct when I asked him what is your name bec he was screaming at me and I told him you are rude what is your name.

I was on a tour and stayed at this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised at all of the amenities in the room, including a washing machine and a fridge/freezer. The view was quite nice from the windows that were on two sides of the room. There is a nice indoor/outdoor bar nearby. The hotel is a little out of the way though, and the streets seem to have lots of large puddles. The shower had good pressure until you put on the hot water. Also, on two occasions, I asked for wake up calls and never received them. I would have been very upset if I hadn't woken up on my own.
