Nice rooms for a good price. Right on main street in Samara close to all restaurants and tourist shops. Super close walk to the beach. Everything was very clean. Staff were very attentive to keeping the pools clean, walkways, etc. Simple rooms with comfortable bed, air conditioning, hot water and a balcony. It is a great option for a good price.

I do not understand why reviews show 4 out 5 stars. I wish i could give 0. This is a dump, sketchy place that wasn’t updated for at least 40 years.... In our 3+ day stay the sheets and towels were changed 1 time. There is no functioning shelving in the bath, all crooked, wire exposed, fixtures are from 60s.... In the bath there is mold on the ceiling and window that goes to the hall (?).... Bed is hard like a rock. The light shines at night though the window located above the front door (why there is window to the common hall?!) - makes sleeping very hard... Restaurant- same - outdated, with multiple white sheer curtains.... makes no sense... One positive thing - close to the beach ..... this is actually how we end up here.... agent choose stars and location.... People, be careful!

We just came back from Hotel Giada Yesterday. We spent 3 nights there. We live in Playas del Coco and many tourists who come here to our complex have told us about this hotel so we decided to try it. They were right. We loved our room (15) which was very clean. The hotel has 2 pools and a jacuzzi and we were very pleased about everything. We had breakfast there 2 days and the food was very good. The personnel are very friendly. If I could change something would be this: having a light blanket in each room. During the night there were times when we were very hot but when turning the AC we would be too cold. Other than that everything is perfect. We plan to go back there in April when our son visits us from Canada.

From the street looks Giada like common hotel, but in the innner block you will find 2 swimming pools, second one very quiet, with sun beds for your disposal. Rooms with the balcony to the garden, beds, aircondition and other room equipment OK. Very good restaurant with 10% discount for hotel guests. Friendly staff .Beach about 150m walk. Perfect!
