Colazione perfetta e staff gentilissimo

Cons:

Aria condizionata troppo forte. Non regolabile, quindi o si gelava o si sudava. Sono rientrata con un forte raffreddore 😢

Just terrible! Not recommended !
Pros:

Only the location nothing else worthy to mention

Cons:

All.. everything ..
One of the worst hotels we have stayed in.

- Super hot rooms with very poor air conditioning that is controlled by reception and can’t cool the rooms enough.

- Rooms are stuffed with all kind of unnecessary stuff and instructions on every single thing … hotels for idiots? Also lot of dust everywhere under the curtains if you try to move them.. looks like these rooms never been cleaned.

- toilet stuff half working and rusted in the bath tub.

- Smelling smoke everywhere and staff had no clue what to do.

- WiFi that does not work, if there are proper 5G signals then it won’t be a problem but icing on cake the WiFi is just useless.

- Breakfast not worth even … old stuff reused on breakfast with very basic limited options.

- Charge guests 30€ for using swimming pool.

Don’t go, before they properly renovate!
Pros:

Staff was super helpful and kind

Cons:

Other than an very good looking exterior, the interiors are terribly outdated and in dear need of renovations
Fittings and furnitures are from the past century to say the least!
One example out of many: the shower didn’t work…
