I had a mixed experience at Golden Star Beach Hotel. The location was great, right next to the beach and close to the airport, which was convenient. However, the hotel showed signs of aging, and I faced some issues with the rooms and service. The breakfast was quite nice, offering a decent variety of options.

My initial room was worn and small, with a defective balcony door, but after some negotiation, I was moved to a larger room. Overall, the rooms lacked modern comfort and showed wear and tear.

While the front desk staff were polite, the overall service efficiency was lacking. It took a while for staff to attend to basic requests, and communication could be improved.

Staying at Golden Star Beach Hotel had its ups and downs. The beach location was certainly a highlight, giving me easy access to the sandy shore. However, I was dismayed by the condition of my room, which was outdated and had some cleanliness issues. Overall, it was a mixed experience, with friendly staff but also significant room for improvement.

On the bright side, the hotel is right next to the beach, which made it convenient for relaxing by the shore. However, the condition of the beach itself left much to be desired, as it was quite dirty.

The breakfast options were somewhat decent, but many dishes were cold, and I noticed flies around the food, making it less appealing. I really wished there were more satisfying dining choices available.

Facilities

Although the hotel had a large swimming pool that looked well-maintained, the environment was sometimes marred by garbage and loud parties nearby. Overall, the facilities need better upkeep.
