Pros:

The guesthouse was clean.

Cons:

Unfortunately, if you opt for breakfast, the portion you receive is very small and the food is always the same. The WiFi didn't work very often. The air conditioning wasn't working, and although reception confirmed that they would fix it (apparently there was no battery), they never did.

Muito agradavel (tanto que voltamos), donos muito simpaticos e receptivos
Pros:

Muito bem localizado o hotel e a equipe muito disponível e solícita para nos atender mesmo antes da chegada, com serviços de transfer, mas também durante a estadia, com opções de cafés e agua pra compra, serviço de limpeza diário. Por fim, quartos com armarios, gavetas, permitindo boa organização durante estadia.

Cons:

Ficamos duas vezes no hotel, os quartos mudam, acho que vale pontuar as escadas (dependendo da pessoa, idade, e mala pode nao ser tão acessíveis), chuveiro da primeira acomodação razoavel, e o espaço é pequeno (pontuando, mas nao foi um problema pra nós)

Pros:

Localização, receptividade dos donos, limpeza e conforto das camas.

Cons:

Dependendo dos demais hospedes, pode ficar bem barulhento e dificil dormir a noite; na segunda estadia nossos vizinhos faziam barulho, riam e conversavam alto durante a madrugada, impedindo um sono sem acordar varias vezes.

Great place to stay
Pros:

It was at a perfect location, on walking distance to everything. We were with car, I tought it would be hard to find a parking spot, but there was actually a reserved parking spot for us right in front of the guest house. The host was very kind, gave us recommendations for restaurants. Overall great value for the price.

Cons:

The room was very small, but more than enough for what we were looking - to sleep there. However, it was clean.

ホテルの立地上石畳が多くキャリーケースで向かうには少し大変でした。(気合いで向かいました)

Cozy and nice room close to everything you would want to visit
Pros:

I love this stay so much! This guest house is so cute and cozy. The bed is excellent and the linens were quite nice. There was a lot of storage space for my things and although it was not attached to our room we had our own bathroom which was cleaned by the staff everyday

Cons:

Nothing I love it

Pros:

Приветливый, предупредительный персонал, очень чисто, никаких запахов, своевременная уборка.

Cons:

Чересчур спартанские условия в некоторых номерах. Есть слишком маленькие - без платяных шкафов и так, что двери в туалет упираются в унитаз.
