Bon endroit de départ pour aller voir le vieil homme 😀
Pros:

Le fish and chips au restaurant, l'accès facile et proche de l'eau. Chambre assez agréable.

Cons:

Un peu d'attente à la réception, (je n'avais pas précisé mon heure d'arrivée comme demandé).
Salle de bain un peu sale dans les angles. Derrière la porte par exemple.

Pros:

Der Barkeeper 😂 die Lage war toll und von aussen sieht es niedlich aus.

Cons:

Die Betten waren, klein und durchgelegen, es war extrem schmutzig (wir putzten selber nach und baten das Personal das Bett neu zu beziehen) , das Personal sehr unfreundlich und wirkte schlecht gelaunt.

The price paid per night excessive for what you got.The bed too small even though a double was a small one , very uncomfortable no sleep, decor is tired , food on evening meal was very mediocre, disappointing for the price being paid , not the quality expected given the write up

Não arrisquem.
Pros:

De nada.

Cons:

Não conseguem dormir: hotel admite que tem grupo de hóspedes a fazer barulho desde as 7h da manhã mas não se responsabiliza. Limpeza deficitária e quartos a cair de velhos. Elevador praticamente sempre indisponível. Funcionários antipaticos que dizem que não trocam toalhas mas depois mexem na vossa toalha e trocam. Acordei com ferradelas / marcas de bichos.

Pleasant
Pros:

It’s situated in a nice place and you can park in the back. Bed it’s comfortable, breakfast is included, they have a nice area where to have a tea or coffee.

Cons:

For some reason the door of the corridor was open to the outside and it was really cold in that area, the room was in a nice temperature though. Some parts of the building are a bit careless, people in general was nice but not everyone.
