Ubicación conveniente y precio accesible

El alojamiento está cerca de la quinta avenida y estación de buses ADO. Sus instalaciones son cómodas y la habitación familiar tiene espacio seguro y con facilidades para comer ahí mismo como microondas, platos y un sartén. No se tiene donde cocinar a pesar de qué hay mesa, fregadero y utensilios de cocina pero el ingenio puede hacer de este hotel la mejor opción cerca de un Walmart a 200 metros. El agua no es potable pero en el lobby hay una máquina de agua con filtro que se puede utilizar, la piscina es cómoda para niños y la habitación tiene un balcón que da con la calle que lleva a la quinta avenida, incluso una calle menos tiene opciones de restaurantes no tan saturados como en la principal avenida de Playa del Carmen.

Es difícil pensar en algo que no me gustará del hotel pues su ubicación, camas cómodas e instalaciones seguras y básicas hicieron una gran experiencia. Quizás algo es que la habitación familiar que tuvimos da con una calle donde el ruido por la noche es algo fuerte pero por la pandemia la mayoría de locales cierran temprano. No es tan malo!, es la playa y pues tampoco es un ruido que no te deja dormir.

Pelkistetty hotelli rauhallisella sijainnilla

Kiva, todella auttavainen henkilökunta. Todella siistiä, siivous pelasi päivittäin ja pyyhkeiden vaihto. Tallelokero ja minijääkaappi huoneessa. Aamiainen vastapäisessä Mr. Waffle-barissa. Sijainti hyvä ja rauhallinen, pois kaikkein vilkkaimmista baarikortteleista.

Hieman karu, pelkistetty. Ei esim. koukkuja pyyhkeille kylpyhuoneessa. Parvekkeella pari paritonta tuolia, ei pöytää. Juomalasit sain pyydettäessä.

Paprastas, pigus viešbutis, tinkamas pernakvojimui ir geroje vietoje

Vieta labai gera, centre, netoli iki 5 aveniu ar iki paplūdimio. Kambariai buvo švarūs.

Viešbutis tikrai super paprastas. Kambariai skurdoki, nera kėdžių ar kabliukų rankšluoščiams pasikambinti.

Que no te engañen con el estacionamiento

En febrero de 2024, decidimos reservar una estadía de tres noches en el Hotel Sahara en Playa del Carmen, atraídos por su ubicación céntrica y las comodidades que ofrecía según la plataforma Booking. Habíamos seleccionado este hotel específicamente por su promesa de estacionamiento gratuito, desayuno incluido y su conveniente ubicación en el corazón de la ciudad. Estos tres aspectos eran requisitos excluyentes que marcamos durante la búsqueda en la aplicación. Después de confirmar la reserva, surgió la primera sorpresa cuando el mismo hotel nos recomendó reservar estacionamiento con antelación. Ante esta contradicción, contactamos al hotel para asegurarnos de que tendríamos un lugar para nuestro auto. La respuesta que recibimos fue que el estacionamiento se asignaba por orden de llegada, generando dudas sobre la consistencia en la prestación de servicios. Ante la incertidumbre y la posibilidad de no contar con estacionamiento, ofrecimos de manera flexible cancelar la reserva y buscar otro alojamiento que pudiera satisfacer nuestras necesidades. Sin embargo, el hotel rechazó esta opción, asegurándonos que siempre habría espacio disponible y, en última instancia, podríamos dejar la llave del auto si fuera necesario. Aunque el primer día transcurrió sin problemas, las noches siguientes nos encontramos con la desagradable sorpresa de que el estacionamiento estaba lleno. Esto nos obligó a dejar nuestro auto en la calle, teniendo que pagar parquímetros durante el día. El hotel, lejos de ofrecer una solución o asumir alguna responsabilidad, argumentó que el estacionamiento era gratuito, sin reconocer que era un servicio incluido en nuestra reserva y que esperábamos disfrutar sin inconvenientes. El hecho de que un hotel con más de 50 habitaciones solo tenga espacio para 10 autos y no lo aclare es engañoso y decepcionante. Además, el Hotel Sahara no proporcionó ninguna alternativa ni se hizo cargo de la situación, dejándonos en una posición incómoda y descontenta.

No cuenta con estacionamiento acorde a las instalaciones. El desayuno no tiene relación precio calidad.

La pasé muy bien y encontré lo que esperaba luego de leer reseñas de otros huéspedes. Relación precio / calidad estu

La ubicación es excelente para salir a caminar por la quinta av. de tardecita / noche y a 2 cuadras de Walmart y la predisposición de Alberto y Máximo.

Los colchones son incómodos. Muy duros. El Desayuno podría estar mejor. Es muy acotado lo que se puede comer .

La ubicación

Hay una parte del hotel que está bastante descuidada, ya que estuve 1 día de ida a Cozumel y otro de vuelta y me tocaron 2 zonas diferentes, pero la limpieza deja mucho que desear en las 2.

You want a great bargain that’s close to EVERYTHING? Stay here!

I loved that your walking distance to the beach and the popular 5th Street and mall/shopping center. Your also surrounded by good restaurants and the Mercado is also just steps away. breakfast is included with the stay which is like having breakfast at home and nothing fancy but very yummy. and if you didn’t have time to get dolled up before your vacation, not to worry, there are a lot of places just a block away that you will find where to get a haircut your nails done or even your lashes installed at a very affordable price. Thank you Gran SAHARA, for upgrading my room and for the hospitality I will definitely stay here again..

Limited car parking.

Pleasant stay in newer addition of hotel.

The staff was exceptional….Ishmael,Massimo,2 Alberto’s,and Alejandra were always pleasant and willing to assist with our minor problems. The staff at the restaurant were always pleasant and fun and enjoyed our attempts in Spanish.Perla had a great smile. Housekeeping was excellent.We give an A+ to all the employees.

There are always minor problems but the staff fixed all immediately.The rooftop deck with pool could be fixed up to be more versatile and attractive.Some nice new chairs,tables and umbrellas would help and say goodbye to the indoor outdoor green funky carpet and old plastic chairs.

I'll probably stay there again,maybe even next month.

The "Classico"was meager but excellent since I don't eat it at home-good bacon and eggs just right.

I wish the safes had working combination locks, I lost my first key and had to pay 500P to replace it. The staff was helpful and good humored though it was really a pain in the burro. OH,and the TV had only 2 volume setting,too low and TOO LOUD!-Room 39,check it out.

Location. Central to the beach, tourist street and inexpensive places to eat. TV had Netflix. Hot water for shower. Rooftop pool!!! Small balcony. Bar Fridge in room.!!! Overall for $60 Canadian the room was very good for a night. Very affordable for location and Playa del Carmen.

No soap in the room. Our sliding glass door to the small balcony had a huge crack. Very unsafe.

Very good

We booked last minute and wanted something central and cheap just for one night. Not as luxurious as other locations at Playa but it was more than enough for one night. Very happy with our choice.

The breakfast we got offered wasn't great. It is not at the hotel but at a restaurant across the street and the included options were not that great. I was expecting something better to be honest.

Passable hotel with very bad WiFi

-The room was ok. -the location was good. -the host was very nice. He even borrowed me the adapter to charge my phone!

-The wifi! I had a business meeting that I had to postpone because the internet was very weak. as a result, I had some financial losses, and that is why I had to give a lower grade. -The cleaning ladies were knocking on my door every morning! there was no do not disturb sign! I came for a vacation, I do not want them waking me up every morning at 9am! so annoying!
