Pikola Otel

Good location with easy access to the town and local attractions.

Pool was not usable. Restaurant was closed. Bar was closed.Room service was offered, but it was no option for us. Construction noise in the afternoon and Pool cleaning in the evening. No relaxation possible.

We paid 185 euros for a room with breakfast and were very disappointed that there was no breakfast buffet. There was only one person responsible for breakfast. On the first day when we arrived, we were not told how breakfast works and what is included. We were not allowed to sit outside either, only in the small room in the hotel. Well, when we arrived, almost all the tables were occupied. Breakfast came, but it was so small for 3 people (see photo) that it was far from enough. On top of that, the crowd was so big, as all the guests arrived at once, that the waiter couldn't keep up. After I asked him several times if I could order something and he ignored our order, I went up to reception after more than 20 minutes and asked if it would be possible to help the waiter, as we couldn't order anything. The lady then came into the breakfast room another 5 minutes later and told the waiter that we had complained about him. We only politely asked if anyone from the hotel could help him so we could order something else. That's when all hell broke loose. The waiter was very offended and angry that we had complained. He explained: "You can see that it's so full." But it's not my fault. And that's why I went to reception so that someone could come and help you. Well, he didn't understand and didn't stop arguing. I asked him if I could finally order something after more than half an hour because we were hungry. And so the days went by and there was an argument every day because he was very vindictive and unprofessional. If I pay 185 euros a day for a room and get breakfast like in a youth hostel, then I can at least expect to get a second cup of tea, cheese or olives. Really ridiculous. In any case, he then looked for trouble with us every day and got it. Because every time we ordered something extra he had to tell us that it cost extra and we would get a bill for it. The reception sometimes had the opposite opinion, sometimes another. It was also very difficult to communicate because the receptionist couldn't speak English and used Google Translate. So we had a bad start to every day with lots of arguments with the waiter. What else is there to say? The area around the hotel is very bad. The roads are very bad. Because it rains a lot, you have to walk through the mud. There are no restaurants around. You have to go to the citycentre. So, we were at the restaurant at the rooftop. You pay more than 10 Euros for a frozen pizza from the freezer. My son couldnt it eat, because it was so bad. And he loves fast-food. The rooms are OK. And the gym is very cramped. If the room cost 70 euros, I wouldn't have written a bad review. But with so much trouble, I had to write one.

Smiling and helpful staff. Great location close to the sea. Clean and comfy rooms. But breakfast service might be better.

It was wonderful to realize that I do not need to search for a restaurant in order to have dinner with my mother. We have a lovely dinner on-site. It was fresh, and delicious. The administration was friendly, and did all for making sure that the communication is well received. Even though the receptionist did not talk English, we used Google Translate with audio messaging that made our communication super easy.

It was so good, we stayed an extra night. Great rooms, great location and great service. This beachfront small hotel boasts a mere 10-12 rooms but all are clean and fantastic. There is a beautiful pool and a private beach. You will need a car to visit restaurants and shops. The very popular bar on the top floor of the hotel can get noisy.

This property is truly the jewel of Ordu. Pikola is a true boutique hotel on the coast of the Black Sea. The seaside rooms also face the small but beautiful pool on the property. The hotel was very clean and staff great. My only complaint is the noise from the very popular bar on the top floor. Currently there is not much in the way of restaurants and shopping within walking distance, so I recommend having a car. Otherwise it is a great place to chill.

Modern accommodations with beautiful view Hotel staff didn’t know English but were helpful anyways :) we loved the hotel, but I think we got unlucky with the room. It was on the first floor right behind the reception desk and there was no soundproofing at all. We can hear people talking and checking in, moving their luggage etc. There was no A/C, the system was ventilation and heating only. We did not feel safe to open the balcony door on the first floor and it was very hot in the room. The mattress was extremely comfortable. The breakfast had preset options, which were not things we were used to and didn’t offer any meat at all.
