The folks at the reception desk are warm, friendly, and do their best to help the guests, even when their international language skills are not most fluent. Really nice people.
The rooms are immaculately spotless clean. Sea view rooms are wonderful, yard view rooms are large but ehh.. none likes to look at that yard view even when from a large clean room.
Which brings us to the location of the hotel. It is just to blocks to the endless black sea beach, but it is NOT walking distance to the city. That is a bummer in a city where there is a lot to be seen. However, the taxis are very cheap and the hotel reception was very helpful finding the best taxi company in town (called NEWYORKER!) The problem is coming back from the city because we encounter many small time crooks as taxi drivers who wanted to charge twice, three times more .. which is again really cheap but absolutely unfair to other nice and clean taxi companies like the NewYorker. When we had to take the taxi of one of those crooks, our brave receptionist tried to confront the bully.
The breakfast is OK, nothing bad, nothing fantastic, but the food at the cafe is really really good. There is a nearby supermarket and even a wine seller with delicious and exquisite homemade wines.
Bottomline, Tangerine is a great, clean hotel, with a delicious cafe and just wonderful receptionists. But its location (even though it is close to the beach) is a bummer.
