Hotel Hawaii — Hotel in Constanta Metropolitan Area

This hotel is well located since it is right on the beach and situated right by the shopping bazaar and a variety of other hotels and places to eat. The hotel staff were mostly but not always pleasant and helpful. There is one small, very hot and tiny elevator though you can easily walk up as long as you are not higher than the third or fourth floor. However, although the rooms are big, they need renovation and better cleaning. The shower was gross, seriously, with black mold and a fairly clogged drain. There was no Kleenex or other sundries offered. The balcony door kept coming off the hinge; one of the lamp shades had wire sticking out, and the light was not plugged in. A helpful bellman came to the rescue with a new shade but had to lift the mattress up to access an extension cord below the bed slats in order to get the job done. Our friends had to change their room three times in order to get working AC. There is AC in the lobby and in the hallways but not in the stairwell, the elevator and most importantly the restaurant. The included breakfasts were literally the worst we have ever experienced on our travels. On the plus side, their restaurant food for lunch or supper was quite good and not terribly expensive. Music plays all the time and late into the night but with the balcony door closed, it wasn't a problem. Internet is free but was consistently unreliable and weak. The beach has lots of room but lounges and umbrellas cost! These were $30 Lei per lounge, so it is not an insubstantial cost over a few days. The beach itself is very, very crowded and really not clean, with lots of cigarette butts and much, much more. Still, it is nice sand and very shallow, warm water so swimming here or just cooling off is a 'breeze.' All in all - this is an acceptable hotel but you need to be aware that it doesn't deserve more than...

The hotel is nice, rather new, facing the sea. However, the whole experience was completely spoiled during both evenings (we stayed two nights, fortunately!) by the loud music played past midnight in the restaurant at ground floor (Fabaria). We were patient during first night. As I write, in the second night we had to call reception three times to have them do something about it. At around 00:20 they decided to lower it down. But it lasted for only 10 min, after which my wife went to the reception to have it sorted out once for all. Absolutely disappointing to go through all this for the price we had to pay, roughly 175 EUR/night for the standard room (larger room gets to 220/night). For this money you can stay at JW Marriott in Bucharest and receive more respect as a customer. In summary, if you plan to rest, this is not the place, definitely not good value for your money. Actually be very, very careful when you choose any hotel on the Romanian seaside, you may be facing nasty surprises. Like a Romanian saying: "outside the fence is painted, inside the leopard is waiting" (...to...

The beach is in front of the hotel and it made a big difference when traveling with a 2.5 years old kid (since this was the primary criteria when choosing the hotel). Some of the staff was nice, polite and friendly.||||A large part of the hotel's ground floor is rented to Fabaria restaurant. When we checked in, even though we announced we are travelling with our kid (
