We took the simplest room - the attic, ordered 3 weeks in advance, it differs little from other rooms, except for the absence of its own balcony, although this also turned out to be not a problem, since after walking 10 meters from the room you could sit in wicker chairs, pour a glass of wine and enjoy view of Kara-Dag from the 4th floor)
In general, the hotel probably has no competitors in Koktebel, well, except perhaps the Galleon, but the latter is still not located by the sea and is a passage courtyard to a greater extent than the Griffin.
The beach is completely isolated from prying eyes, there are always a lot of free sunbeds + few people. On the first day when we arrived, they explained to us how to get to it, and so, when we went there, there was not a single person on it (although it was 15 hours)), we even became uncomfortable from the emptiness and absence voices... though there was no such thing anymore: on average, there are 8-15 people, everyone is quietly resting.

Breakfast, in principle, is nothing, but they could have made the dishes tastier and more careful (4 days in a row, out of 2 salads offered, there was something with crab sticks, cut so that they did not fit in the mouth (. The cheese was also tasteless, by the way). I VERY disliked one moment: drinks such as coffee, tea - exclusively for an additional fee (tea, espresso - 20 gr, cappuccino -25 gr, double espresso - 40 gr). for the first time (((Yes, and while they brought us this coffee, half was poured along the road (
At night, with closed windows (double-glazed windows), boom-boom was clearly audible, but no windows will save from this. It did not interfere with sleep, only in the first days it was a little annoying. The voices and clatter of people walking along the corridors, as well as maids with buckets, were still too well heard because of the huge gap between the door and the floor, and because of the door itself too (
They cleaned normally, a couple of times even when they didn’t hang a sign, once they noticed that the floor had not been washed for a long time, they called the administrator - they quickly put everything in order. Towels beach if that - were.
The staff is quite friendly and helpful, from administrators to maids and waiters. Only one girl was infuriated, either an assistant or just an administrator. So young (20-25 years old max), dark, thin. I really regret that I did not leave a review about her and did not find out her name. Sour mine, rude (we witnessed how she, accompanying an elderly woman who was barely rising with a large heavy bag to the 4th floor, galloped forward, and standing 1 flight above her, impatiently rattled the keys, expressing disgust with her whole appearance, and when the grandmother was indignant, what kind of escort was this, this brat in a boorish manner told her that she was not obliged to help, this was not her job, and in general that you had been taking so long..... ((((Such employees are disgusting and bewildering. On place of administration, if they look here, I would pay attention to this.
I was pleased with the smart Wi-fi in the room, and I didn’t catch it on the street, on the 3rd floor people had to go out into the hall to sit on the net, in this case we had a significant plus.

There was always hot-cold water, it ran out once, they waited all day - the whole hotel didn’t have it, they explained to us that it was an overrun, they offered to use the sauna for free. Once the hot water stopped flowing, or rather it was cold, the masters to fix the boiler promised only in two days, for this time they provided free access to the sauna with a shower. The boiler was successfully repaired, even if they waited quite a long time.
In general, if you don’t bother, the hotel is not bad, but abroad is still more civilized. I would say 3-3.5 stars, not 4.
