Good location, breakfast and room not great.
Pros:

The location of this hotel is great. Far enough away from the late night party centre of town. Very handy for the beach and bars and restaurants in town.

Cons:

Breakfast wasn’t great. Coffee tasted odd like it was made with evaporated milk. No black tea, only green or herbal tea bags on one morning. Terrible fruit juice which was more like watery squash.
Our bathroom smelt bad as though there was a problem with the drains and our shower curtain fell down.

Hôtel bien situé avec personnel agréable, mais petit déjeuner basique et mauvaise insonorisation.
Pros:

Le personnel est particulièrement accueillant et chaleureux. L’emplacement est exceptionnel pour profiter pleinement du vieux centre. La literie, quant à elle, est extrêmement confortable. Nous avons séjourné à 4 amies et nous n'avons pas profité de la piscine car le planning de visite était chargé mais celle-ci semblait très agréable.

Cons:

Le buffet du petit déjeuner est un peu décevant. Les produits sont majoritairement industriels et l’offre reste assez basique.
Côté salé : œufs brouillés, bacon, saucisses, haricots rouges, jambon et fromage.
Côté sucré : cake, pancakes, yaourts, confitures/miel, pommes et oranges, ainsi que quelques céréales.
Concernant la localisation, elle a ses avantages et ses inconvénients.
Si vous aimez sortir tard et profiter de l’animation nocturne, c’est l’endroit idéal. En revanche, pour les séjours plus calmes, cela peut poser problème : les chambres donnent sur une place très animée et lumineuse, ce qui peut gêner le sommeil. Des bouchons d’oreilles sont vivement conseillés.
De plus, l’insonorisation du bâtiment laisse à désirer : on entend clairement ce qui se passe dans le couloir, comme si c’était dans la chambre.

Vårt verste hotell besøk ever 😡
Pros:

Beliggenhet var fin

Cons:

Det var mauer på rommet. Det krøp på veggene på badet på dør håndtak. I sengen!
Vi fikk nytt rom ,.men det ble ikke bedre.
Luftet kloakk på badet. Det lufter kloakk ved bassenget.
På balkongen var det en rustete aircondition som det rant vann av ,så du kunne ikke sitte der.
Hotellet etter min mening burde vært stengt for å få bukt med maurene.
Selv om det er et 2 stjerner hotell , så er dette ikke innenfor.
Vi reiste hjem 2 dager før tiden ,da vi ikke holdt ut å være der lenger.
Ingen refusjon fra hotellet ,da de dekker seg bak at vi fikk byttet rom.
Det hjelper ikke når det er like ens der!
Skjønner ikke at Hotels.com har dette hotellet i porteføljen.
Så styr unna folkens!!
