Does not match any published photos I was on any booking sites
Pros:

The room provided was entirely unrepresentative of the photographs published on the various booking platforms they use.

Our room was run-down and dirty, the bathtub was stained, and the advertised terrace consisted merely of a table and chairs placed directly in front of our door in an exterior hallway. Furthermore, contrary to the published photos, there is no pool on site; instead, guests must take a bus/taxi ride and pay an additional 17 Euro per person for access to a Lido that includes the pool. The worst part was navigating the 3.5-minute walk from the lobby to our room. This walk was long and arduous up and down several staircases and was unsafe, as the path was frequently dark and the automatic lights were unreliable.

When we raised these concerns with the staff, the issue was dismissed with the claim that we had booked an "economy" room. However, we booked through one of their preferred platforms, which did not list the room as economy, and all available options were similarly priced.

Pros:

Фантастичний краєвид. Гарний балкон, ванна кімната. Хороший сніданок

Cons:

Персонал на сніданку трохи грубуватий. Інше все було добре. Єдине, що готель розділений на 2 частини. Одна внизу, а інша нагорі. Так от мені дісталась та що нагорі. Чудовий краєвид, але піднятись туди! Їдеш на ліфті до 5 поверху,потім сходи вниз, потім вгору. Потім ще на другий поверх. 50 метрів до пляжу це від дверей нижньої частини і вертикально.

Faulty Towers Italian Style
Pros:

I will start with the good points although there are not many. The location is good and the views are amazing. The cable car station is right next to the hotel and takes you up into town for 10 euro return. Isobella beach it accross the road up the steps to get to it are very steep.
Now for the negatives the staff are extremely rude at reception and very unhelpful. The rooms are outdated with broken furniture and a shower that is so small. Bathroom tiny difficult to get in and out of. The hotel looks like it has not been decorated since 1960. It’s not a 4 star at all it’s not even a good 3 star. The free parking that is advertised is never available so you have to pay and it can cost about 30 euro a day ! Expensive. They don’t have a pool you have to use the pool at the Ipanema hotel down the road. This is the sister hotel and the staff there are just as rude and unhelpful, they act like they are better than you.
My room was infested with ants while I was there. I reported it no apology !. The lift also broke down and I was on the fourth floor again no apology just a rude comment from the receptionist who said “use it then and get stuck”. I booked a single room for myself. If you are going alone choose another hotel, this one should be condemned. The breakfast is the same everyday cheap ham, cheese, boiled eggs and tinned peaches! No toast.

Pros:

Romslig balkong og utsikten var flott. Gode senger. Veldig hyggelige og hjelpsomme de som jobbet i resepsjonen. God beliggenhet i forhold til buss og funicolare.

Cons:

Da vår bygning (det er 2) lå oppe i høyden med en del trapper å klatre, savnet vi veldig et kjøleskap på rommet til kald drikke. Flere ødelagte fliser på badet som er erstattet av andre med annet mønster. Gammeldags vegghengt hårtørrer med én styrke, varmt! Hotellet er slitent og utdatert, trenger generell fornyelse.

Nem érdemel négy csillagot
Pros:

A személyzet egy része tényleg kedves volt, illetve a hotel elhelyezkedése jó.

Cons:

Penészes fürdőszoba, a leírással és a fotókkal ellentétben a szobánk egyáltalán nem a tengerre nézett hanem a zajos főutcára. Ezt kifogásoltuk, de a szállás nem volt segítőkész. Négycsillagos szállodához képest a folyton szétcsúszo egymás mellé tolt két ágy, a szakadt ágytakaró, a penészes fürdő, a soha utan nem töltött szappan teljesen elfogadhatatlan.

Nagy csalódás volt.

Pros:

Расположение максимально удачное, близко к единственной парковке, канатной дороге, пляжу, автобусной остановке.
Уборка номеров каждый день. Отель старенький, но всё есть и всё работает.

Cons:

Завтраки это разочарование. Каждый день одно и то же целую неделю, скудно, никакого разнообразия, из овощей - несъедобные огурцы и помидоры, фрукты - консервированные

Great base but not luxury
Pros:

Hotel is very basic but was clean and we only used as a base. We had a great beach view which made up for any shortcomings. Ideally located for the cable car to the main town and this was €10 return. If going to beach highly recommend taking the stairs just outside hotel across the road less steep. The ones by the taxis are steep and smelly. Two beach clubs available one is €35 euros per bed and you can order drinks etc via a qr code the other one is €25 per bed this one you can turn up to the other best to book as more popular. One thing I will say about hotel rooms on the main road is very noisy as there is a Trainline runs under the main road and these trains go past until 11.30 in the evening and start early. Windows have shutters but makes no difference to noise so take earplugs just in case. Bathroom tiny and shower has zero power more a trickle but we made do. Beach shoes are a must buy from the little supermarket before you go as sea is very stoned and hurts feet. Not ideal beach for little kids. Breakfast at the hotel was basic continental we only went down the first day and it wasn’t for us so we purchased fresh fruit from supermarket each day. Rooms have no drink facilities or fridge which is annoying. Staff were friendly and helpful though so can’t fault them so if looking for somewhere with a great morning view and a base then it’s a good cheap base.
