Séjour très agréable
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse, avec balcon et vue mer, hôtel style art nouveau très bien placé tout près de l'artère principale. Le petit-déjeuner est bien garni, et on peut le prendre sur la terrasse extérieure si on veut.

Cons:

Manque un peu d'insonorisation, et il manquait une corbeille poubelle dans la chambre.
Les volets ne se fermaient pas complètement donc un peu de lumière filtrait le matin, mais rien de très gênant.

Pros:

Séjour globalement positif.
L’hôtel est propre et le personnel agréable, ce qui rend l’expérience satisfaisante.
Cependant, l’établissement est assez vétuste et mériterait une rénovation pour offrir davantage de confort et de modernité.
Malgré cela, le séjour s’est bien passé.

Zu teuer,zu laut,zu schlechtes Frühstück
Pros:

Die Zimmer mit Terrasse habe einen sehr schönen Ausblick

Cons:

. Es fehlt ein Sonnenschirm für die Zimmerterrasse, sonst kann es zu heiss dort sein und man kann die Terrasse kicht nutzen.Kein Wasserkocher im Zimmer. Im Bad fehlen Seifenschale, Hacken und Handtuchhalter. Das sind minimale Badausstattungselemente.
Der Lärm von den in der Gasse darunter liegenden Lokalen sind völlig unakzeptabel. Daher kann man wenn man nachts schlafen möchte die Zimmer nicht mieten.

Frühstück: Positiv,hmm....? Der Espresso ist top, der Blick von der Terasse aufs Meer ist top. Der Rest ist den Preis nicht wert , was das Zimmer kostet. Hier ist das Delta deutlich zu groß. Und wer gekochte Eier kalt in eine ungeschütze Keramikschale dem Frühstücksgast offeriert will wohl beim Gast den Wunsch der Wiederkehr nicht erzeugen und/oder ist in der Beherbergungsbranche fehlt am Platz. Von Rührei etc. sollten man nicht zu träumen wagen. Auf Nachfrage volle Ablehnung. Und Toastwe gibt es auch nicht.
In tutto: schlechtesten Frühstück der ganzen Reise!
