Serenade Hotel

A lot of the reviews only mention location and price, so I want to provide something more well rounded. Room quality: C-. The room had a little more than the bare bones: 2 bars of soap, a shower with low water pressure (but mostly hot water), internet (worked well 2/3 days, and not at all the 3rd), a bed, a dresser and a fridge. It lacked a trash can, and other basic items you'd otherwise expect. I would also give this a higher rating if the internet had worked all three days. Cleanliness: C-. They had mopped before I arrived, but the room was in serious need of redoing. All the walls had a mix of seemingly mold, blood ( red markings), or dirt. See my attached photos. It rained a ton while I was there, so I don't fault the musty smell. Noise: F. The walls are incredibly thin, and they are apparently redoing the common area, so everyone hung out on the balcony. That meant you heard every conversation, including the family that argued at 7am about what shoes to bring to the excursion, and the group that partied on the second floor balcony from 8pm-2am every night. Even though I used earplugs, I never got more than 5-6 hours of sleep a night. Location: A . The location can't be beat; it's in the heart of Placencia. Price: I paid $100/night so interpret that however you want. I will never, ever, return here. If I return to Placencia, I will save up and stay anywhere else even if it costs more.

Expected more for the price The room had AC, a cold mini fridge, and a clean comfy bed, but there were a few unpleasant things. First of all, it didn’t look like much was cleaned but the sheets in the room. There were no trash cans or bags. The windows were not real windows, but rather blinds, meaning no real privacy or quiet could be had. It was fine to stay in for a night, but I wouldn’t go back. It was definitely not worth what we paid for it. It was close to the beach, so I suppose that’s what you’re paying for in this case.

The pictures advertising the property were far from accurate, most of it was empty and our room was in the back , absolutely manky

Nice Hotel in Placencia Very nice room, spotless clean, good bathroom Great Location, warm welcome

The manager was very welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable, near all amenities.

Spent one night, and it was a great stay! Lovely sightseeing when walking in the Placencia Sidewalk toward the sea! The staff from the office was friendly and gladly showed us where to find Captain Jaks to prepare for the next day’s adventure. I recommend booking the Serenade Hotel as it's affordable and has excellent security.
