Would definitely stay here again
Pros:

The property was in a great location
Breakfast was excellent value as I booked it as included. Such a great variety of options
The staff were all very helpful

Cons:

There wasn’t much to dislike although the floors and skirting boards in the room could have been a bit cleaner .
Also the breakfast area was a little claustrophobic and warm

Un po' al di sotto delle aspettative
Pros:

La posizione centrale e strategica. L'affaccio sul mare della camera da noi riservata, anche se si tratta di un balcone molto stretto, "alla romana", quindi non vivibile. Bagno spazioso, comodo, ben illuminato. Piscina e idromassaggio tra i servizi dell'hotel. Colazione abbastanza varia e abbondante. Possibilità di deposito bagagli quando si arriva e la stanza non è pronta, o quando fa il check-out e si vuole restare in giro.

Cons:

Struttura da rimodernare in vari spazi, sia negli ambienti comuni sia nel mobilio della camera. Una sola bottiglia di acqua omaggiata per i quattro giorni di soggiorno. Idromassaggio interno trovato a temperatura calda/gradevole un giorno, ma troppo freddo quello successivo (33°). Molto rumoroso durante la notte, nonostante gli infissi non fossero scadenti. Non sono riuscita a dormire in modo rilassato, poi la luce sopraggiunge molto presto al mattino e le tende non bastano a oscurare la stanza (forse anche la nostra collocazione al secondo piano non ha aiutato). Nel complesso non lo sconsiglierei, ma non è stata una soluzione conveniente considerando il rapporto qualità-prezzo.

A decent 3* hotel in a central location.
Pros:

Central location - front row to sea. Room was spacious and bright. Bed comfy. Breakfast was decent. We even were served a welcome drink.

Cons:

Bit outdated. The advertised balcony was NOT a balcony. They should take “balcony” out of description. It was not super well isolated. So you’d hear everything inside hotel.
