Hotel De Koka

“Happy solo guy”

Value for money hotel, great location, stayed on my first solo trip. Not super luxury, but I was very happy with what I got for the money I paid. Staff at check in very nice, breakfast included was as expected. The shower was powerful and I would stay here again.

“Just for one night stay”

You should not have high expectation if you see 3 stars. If you just need a place to sleep in the city center, then this hotel is just about it, nothing more. Reasonable price for a one night stay. It is located near a fountain, so if you have the bad luck that your room is across that fountain yo… more

You should not have high expectation if you see 3 stars. If you just need a place to sleep in the city center, then this hotel is just about it, nothing more. Reasonable price for a one night stay. It is located near a fountain, so if you have the bad luck that your room is across that fountain you will hear the water all night long...Thin walls and windows. If you are hygene freak, this hotel is also not for you.

“Good location but some amber flags”

Very affordable and centrally located but this building, like many in these parts, was depressingly ugly.

Very affordable and centrally located but this building, like many in these parts, was depressingly ugly. Worse, while the fit and finish was modern and appealing, and the room spacious enough, there was a major problem: a tripping circuit which not only lit up the room intermittently but was frankly dangerous. At least the checkout desk staff moved us swiftly and with professionalism, but this should not have been left to happen!

We booked the hotel room based on reading people's reviews and positive photos on various booking websites. We were quite disappointed with the hotel. We were booked onto floor 4 which was still in the process of being built or recently built as the hallway on this floor still had unfinished work to tiling, doors, walls etc and the lift frame on floor 4 still had the plastic covering still on. The floor that we were given had no safe, as we were told that the rooms were still being fitted with a safe but that we could leave our passports at the reception. Due to this we had to carry both our passports and large amounts ofoney with us throughout our stay,which we were uncomfortable with. We had constant issues in the morning with no hot water coming from either the basin tap or the shower to that we had to have this investigated. The shower water was very very slow to drain away and had to stop showering until the water drained away and restart. There were so much hair on the drain cover which the cleaner should be clearing away. There was a foul sewage smell in the bathroom such that we had to constantly spray perfume. The room was dusty and not cleaned daily, could not walk on bare feet. Only provided with new towels each day after requesting from the cleaner. We were just shocked with all the issues when the floor 5 was newly built and already the rooms looked dated. The room had no door pass, but had a door smart card reader both on the door and inside the room. I assume due to not being wired to the system, we were given a door key, which is so 1980s. The breakfast was non existent with cornflakes, bread, bottled orange drink and coffee. Oh and no milk provided only yogurt to go with your cornflakes. Never seen breakfast so badic that it took us literally 5 minutes to finish our break fast. The only 2 positives: Location between the old town and the new city. The young lady at the reception (red hair) believe her name was Kristina ? She was amazing and an asset to the hotel. She was so helpful in anything we asked from booking tours to general help and assistance. She needs a pay rise for the positives she brings to the hotel. A real asset.
