9.6/10 Exceptional! (514 reviews)

We recently stayed at Carina Gold Hotel for 5 nights and had a wonderful experience. The accommodation was excellent, with rooms that were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and pleasant to stay in. The reception staff truly stood out for their friendliness and professionalism. They were always ready to assist and guided us in the right way without ever pressuring us into hotel-related packages. Instead, they genuinely helped with arranging shopping trips, recommending quality restaurants, suggesting popular tourist attractions, and even organizing taxis for local travel and airport transfers. The complimentary breakfast was another highlight—fresh, tasty, and well-prepared, giving us the perfect start to our mornings. Overall, we highly recommend Carina Gold Hotel & Restaurant for anyone looking for clean and well-maintained rooms, courteous staff who go above and beyond in helping tourists, and delicious food. It’s an excellent choice for both comfort and hospitality.
