The price might look good, but this place is sort of a nightmare. It's noisy, filthy, and depressing. The only upside is that the front desk clerk was really nice. There was black mold from the bathroom that had actually soaked through the wall into the bedroom. The room smelled of cigarette smoke. I barely slept.

I visited the Hotel and it was a total disgrace. The rooms, of which I tried 4, were all dirty and not at all as advertised. The Hotel was tatty, under repair and was not at all welcoming. The Front of House Staff were pushy and not at all welcoming. Never again would I consider this hotel and strongly recommend... More

We arrived at Topaz BH without any booking at 6AM. In 10 min were in a room #20 with a nice pool and beach view. Special thanks to receptionists June and Sonali. They were very friendly and helpful. First we planned to stay at Topaz BH two-three nights and move somewhere else. After reading so many negative reviews we were... More

The beds were hard as wood, the pillows like stones. The first thing we found when we arrived was a dead crockroach in the bathroom. At least it was dead.... More

i would not recommend this hotel. When you arrive you instantly know it's old and did not go with it's time. The reception and lobby are big, but it has no ambience at all and the staff doesn't help making it (except maybe for 1 or 2).The hotel is actually quite big, but there are hardly any people staying for...

It was the worsest place which I have ever visited. There was a lot of insects in the room that were eating the waredrop when we came in the room. Despite that we came at the hotel at 3 a.m. we decided to look for another hotel, since it was impossible and dangerous to stay in this hotel.
