Pros:

Bellissima posizione sul lungomare a due passi dalle fermate degli autobus da cui si può raggiungere tutte le destazioni dell'isola, a 10 minuti a piedi dalla partenza dei ferry. Camera grande, ottima colazione sia dolce che salata. Personale del bar molto gentile.

Pros:

Clean and great location

Cons:

A lot older and more run down than on images and on website, could do with being modernized and completely renovated. For the price I would've expected a bit more of a four star feel but in reality this hotel is more of a good 3 star. Staff didn't seem overly accommodating and there were strange smells throughout the halls, in lift and downstairs of damp/mould. Breakfast was average. air conditioning pre set for the whole hotel and can't be changed per room so it was very warm at night

Зіпсована відпустка
Pros:

Нічого

Cons:

Жахливий готель, категорично не рекомендую його відвідувати! Номера взагалі не відповідають дійсності як на фото. Всі меблі і техніка знищена, у вікнах дирки з яких дує, душ грязний і увесь на металевих стяжках. Кімнати грязні і знищені…
Сервіс жахливий - сказав їм що дує з вікна прийшли законїли вікно клеєм і сказали вікно більше відкриватися не буде… тепер добавився запах клею.
В душі смерділо каналізацією…
Я сказав що хочу купити десерт зі свічкою на День народження і сказав що давайте я заплачу… Мені відповіли що не потрібно це подарок від Готелю. І в кінці на виселенні сказали заплатити за це, притому що в чеку вибили не тістечко а кава…
Не відвідуйте цей готель. Номер був один з найдорожчих з видом на море.
Відпустка зіпсована

Soggiorno più che fantastico!
Pros:

STUPENDO!!
L’hotel si trova in una posizione strategica per poter visitare tutta la città, è facile muoversi anche a piedi, stanze sempre pulite e staff genitilissimo! La colazione è super fornita e c’è l’imbrazzo della scelta, consiglierei sicuramente alle persone che conosco di andarci! Se siete indecisi se prenotare o no, fatelo! Ho festeggiato il mio 4 anniversario con il mio fidanzato e mi hanno fatto trovare una bottiglia di vino in camera con una lettera scritta a mano, pensiero super apprezzato! La piscina sul rooftop bellissima! Un pensiero ad Alessandra, staff gentilissima che ci ha aiutato nella scelta del ristorante per il nostro giorno! Ci ritornerei sicuramente!

Pros:

La posizione ideale, vicino il centro, la promenada lungo mare. 200 metri di fermata di autobus. Servizio pubblico di trasporto perfetto.
Si passa da una città all'altra sensa accorgersi.

Bardzo dobry hotel w dobrej cenie
Pros:

Pokój wygodny, całkiem duży i przestronny. Łóżko bardzo wygodne. Zaskakująca była jedna ogromna kołdra. To była największa kołdra jaką widziałam :) Łazienka ładna, czysta i dobrze wyposażona. Świetne kosmetyki. Śniadania smaczne, a personel profesjonalny i sympatyczny. Na dachu taras z basenem i piękny widok na wybrzeże. Drink powitalny przy meldunku. To był bardzo przyjemny pobyt :)

Cons:

Śniadania smaczne, ale trochę monotonne.
