Pros:

Overall stay was satisfactory. The staff was polite and very helpful. The location was also good the added advantage was bus stop which is next to hotel very convenient to go to city and other places. The rooms were clean.

Cons:

The breakfast needs to be improve , very specific to vegetarian menu to be added. Noticed in breakfast meat related product and eggs were predominant but very limited only beans were there for veg. This can be improved. The staff during for breakfast was very helpful and friendly.

Pros:

Η τοποθεσία

Cons:

Για το κοστος του (230 ευρω ημερησιως χωρις πρωινο) οι παροχες ηταν πολυ βασικές. Τα δωματια και οι διαδρομοι θελουν ανακαίνηση-ανανέωση αισθητικα καο λειτουργικα. Την τελευταια βραδια δεν ειχαν συμπληρωσει το αφρολουτρο και ξεχασαν να βαλουν χαλακι γιαν το μπανιο. Τα δωματια δεν διαθετουν ψυγειο.
