Writing Feedback / "The rose of desert" hotel - description of a place I don't recommend [3]
Here are a few recommended changes:
"The Rose of the Desert" is a 4 star hotel situated in the center of a holiday resort, Hurghada. The hotel is five stories with interesting and unparalleled architecture, advertised as a great spot to break away from your everyday life. Well, the hotel visit will definitely make for an unforgettable vacation, unfortunately, not attributed towards any good experiences. I came to the hotel with a very good attitude, prompted by positive reviews. At first everything was fine, the taxi driver was uncommonly pleasant and the hotel looked amazing from the outside. Unfortunately after crossing the threshold the charm was ruined. The first thing I had to deal with was the staff, unbelievably mean, and treated me as if I were a nuisance. Secondly the cafeteria was a complete disaster! The hotel description had me anticipating lobster, but all I saw were canned sardines! In addition, the furnishings were dirty and dusty, as if nobody cleaned them for months. That is not all, when I finally managed to get to my room I experienced an even bigger disappointment. My room advertised with a view, had only one, very small window through which I could see the wall of another hotel. The floor creaked after my every move, the mattress was close to disintegrating, and the originally white sheets looked like worms had eaten parts for their lunch. My last disappointment was with the live entertainment, I must have imagined it, because there was no entertainment to be found. This was, without doubt, the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. I am well-traveled and definitely not posh, but this hotel was expected to be luxurious due to the high price when it clearly was not. The Rose of the Desert is due for a complete restoration including with the staff if they hope to stay in business.
