While The Carpathia might have the formal credentials of a 4-star hotel, it has the service level and ambience of a simple motel. The staff was rude, breakfast was lousy and don’t get me started on the lukewarm, cramped jacuzzi which probably had worse water quality than most swamps.
The room we had was simple, nothing special really. The best thing we can say about the Carpathia is that the cleaning was fine, but then again they had signs reminding us of being environmentally friendly, when they at the same time packed water glasses in plastic and had put up “sanitation” stickers… Doesn’t seem like the environment is of high priority to this hotel, otherwise they could implement several initiatives for more eco-friendly operations. Then again, the pool was really cold, so I guess they saved on the heating bill for that one.
