Spent three nights in this hotel, only because the Boulevard Hotel next door was fully booked. This hotel is struggling to make a three star rating. Rooms are OK but not spectacular, those at the front all have a large balcony facing onto the main street, but sound levels inside were no problem. However, on the downside - there are no hairdryers in the room and the shower is equipped only with a body soap of some kind which is not even pretending to also be a shampoo. The 'restaurant' is a room in the basement of the hotel, completely devoid of atmosphere and resembling a school canteen. The breakfast is sparse to say the least, some sweating cheese and cold meats (completely uncovered with a few flies buzzing about - and it was circa 38 degrees when we were there), fake orange juice like the stuff that you used to be able to make from powder, some truly revolting omlette type stuff and hot dogs, a dish of tomatoes and cucumbers, cold coffee or do it yourself tea - and that is it. All laid out on an enormous table, just to make it look even less than it acually is. We didn't even think about eating there in the evening.

A lot of the hotel buildings in Constanta look a bit Communist-grim and the Scala is not the worst of them, but neither is it close to the best.
