TL;DR
Recent traveler messages say the hotel is now called Art Poseidon Side. Current feedback is generally positive, with mentions of updated furniture in public areas and good value for a budget hotel.
A recent guest refers to the property as Arcanus, which may indicate the name currently used for the hotel.
A guest visiting during reported 100% occupancy did not find the hotel crowded: loungers were available at both the beach and pool, and dinner did not have large queues.
According to a detailed recent review, the left wing when facing the sea is preferable for garden views, while road-facing rooms are best avoided. Rooms in the right wing may be noisy and can smell of grill smoke. Ground-floor rooms may have insects, and balcony doors have no mosquito screens.
A recent review likes the sea and beach but warns about stone slabs to the left of the pier; entering the water is easier on the right side. There are many fish around the pier, and some may nip swimmers.
The review notes that there are no designated non-smoking areas and that German guests predominate. Russian-language service is limited, with Russian-speaking staff mentioned only at reception and guest relations.
A recent guest highlighted two drawbacks: there is no heated pool in the off-season, and dinners are held outdoors during the main season; otherwise, they were happy with the hotel.
One participant points to recent blogger video reviews confirming queue/line problems at the hotel (e.g., at breakfast or the pool), which contrasts with the more positive reviews shared by others.
In addition to Google Maps and TopHotels, travelers also suggest checking Booking, Hotels.com, and Otelz for reviews to compare price and quality.
One guest noted that based on reviews and videos the hotel is generally liked, but it is located somewhat remotely, so there isn't the usual option of freely walking outside the territory nearby.
One traveler is skeptical: negative reviews often include photos of badly worn-out furniture and bathrooms in the rooms, while satisfied guests rarely post photos; the hotel's own website shows rooms looking fine, raising doubts about which reviews to trust.
Participants recommend checking Google Maps for the most up-to-date and informative reviews of Art Poseidon Side, saying it currently has the freshest feedback there, often with photos showing the hotel's condition.
