Buen hotel, pero con cositas.
Pros:

La localización está bien, sobre todo para aparcar tu propio coche que hay bastantes plazas delante del hotel en un descampado. No pagaría el parking de hotel.
El personal super atento, es lo que más destacaría.

Cons:

El hotel se nota que es algo antiguo.
Desayuno poco variado.
Dos ascensores solo para 6 plantas. A veces te tocaba bajar por las escaleras de incendios si no querías esperar eternamente (Las cuales tampoco están muy bien señalizadas)
Y un problema en la habitación cuando llegamos... Que uno de los armarios olía como si un perro hubiese hecho sus necesidades dentro. Tuvieron que cambiarnos la habitación porque olía fatal y no lo limpiaron bien.
Al menos el cambio fue rápido y nos movieron ellos las maletas de una habitación a otra mientras nosotros estábamos fuera..
Para regular la ducha tienes que tener el grado superior de fontanería, sino siempre sale hirviendo.

Pros:

Destacar tanto las instalaciones del hotel así como su ubicación, el cual se encuentra a un paseo de 5 minutos del centro mismo de Aveiro. Además, señalar el gran trato del personal, sobre en recepción por parte de Bruno, el cual nos trato con gran amabilidad y simpatía, aportándonos un plano de la ciudad y señalándonos un tour en el mismo para que no nos perdiésemos ni un detalle.

Pros:

Хороший отель на пару дней. Номер неплохой, но нет балкона. Паркинг 15€-дорого. Утром на завтраке столпотворение. Вечером бывает живая музыка. В целом хороший отель

Nie polecam. Stary, zaniedbany hotel i bardzo słabymi śniadaniami
Pros:

Miła i pomocna obsługa w recepcji, lokalizacja

Cons:

Hotel jest stary i nie zasługuje na 4*. Nie spełnia także standardów sieci Melia. Śniadania bardzo słabe, brak jakichkolwiek warzyw. Za mało stolików, personel z jakiegoś dziwnego powodu pokazuje miejsce, gdzie mam usiąść - pierwszy raz się z tym spotkałam.. dwie windy na duży hotel to stanowczo za mało, długie czekanie. Pokój zaniedbany, odpadająca podłoga, pęknięte ściany. Stare wyposażenie. Sprzątanie też pobieżne, brak wody w pokoju. Personel na stołówce nie mówi po angielsku.
