Vi forlot hotellet etter 10 min. Misvisende omtale på bookings
Cons:

Det var lagt inn frokost i søket på bookings, men da vi kom til hotellet var det ikke inkl. Naborommet kunne se rett inn på rommet fra terrassen, hvor skoddene hang og slang. Ødelagte og ikke mulig å lukke.

Alt var perfekt.
Pros:

Vi overnattede en enkelt nat på dette skønne hotel. Der var aircondition, en dejlig seng med gode puder, et lille køleskab, badeværelse med ventilation og små sæber. Alt var perfekt.
Vi var utroligt begejstret over personalets venlighed der var over alt forventning. Især Laura, med hendes hjertelige væremåde, gjorde besøget helt unikt.
Hotellet har 100% fortjent sine stjerner, men Laura gjorde besøget til en 5 stjernes oplevelse!
Det skæve tårn var vitterligt lige for enden af gaden og massere af muligheder for at få en god middag. Ud over det var der skøn udsigt til tårnet da vi nød morgenmad på hotellets terrasse med en udsøgt capuchino.
Vi vender absolut tilbage.

Det var ikke 975 kr. værd, og havde fotos været som det så ud havde vi aldrig valgt hotellet.
Pros:

Vi havde bestilt en overnatning med morgenmad, hvilket hotellet ikke mente, Så vi måtte tage i lufthavnen uden.

Cons:

Terrassen levede på ingen måde op til de fotos som er på jeres hjemmesige, rustne metalborde og og stole, skodden foran døren til værelset var ødelagt, stakit mellem de to terrasser var misligholdt. Der var ikke gardin på værelser som fotos viser

Udany, bardzo dobrze miejsce jako bazą wypadowa po okolicy.
Pros:

Lokalizacja rewelacja, możliwość zostawienia bagażu przed zameldowaniem i po wymeldowaniu. Bardzo pomocna i miła obsługa hotelu. Gdy poprosiliśmy o żelazko dostaliśmy na cały pobyt.

Cons:

Tak naprawdę to takie małe detale. Brakowało wieszaka by powiesić kurtkę czy marynarkę. W szafie były tylko dwa wieszaki - więc albo kurtka/marynarka albo koszula. Dla nas to niedogodność, bo prawie wszystko mamy do powiedzenia. Brakowało w łazience jakieś półki na kosmetyki - trzymaliśmy je na podłodze, podobnie pod prysznicem.
