Pros:

The hotel is close to the beach and centrally located, next to old town and restaurants.

Cons:

The room was shabby with dated furniture. Industrail tiles on the floor. The worst was stale smell when the balcony was not open. Bath tub was old and narrow. The room was for a handicap person but the bathroom would not be possible to use for a handicap. No bed side table ot a stand for suitcase in the room though it was shown on picture. No hair dryer. Electric cables lead on the wall. Not a charming place at all.
