Chouette hôtel mais mauvais rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Les différentes piscines, les transats disponibles, le buffet du soir
La vue sur les immeubles et la mer.
Petit déjeuner quantitatif mais peu qualitatif.

Cons:

Le personnel qui prend les gens de haut, le fait d'avoir demandé une chambre PMR non reçue, beaucoup de choses abîmées dans l'hôtel (porte, peinture, chasse d'eau, etc.), devoir demander la clé pour accéder aux toilettes PMR du hall d'entrée, le lit qui était dur comme du bois et très petit pour une chambre double, le parking payant avec uniquement des escaliers pour accéder à l'hôtel avec des valises, etc.

Pros:

Jeg har nu været her 8 gange men synes det er blevet for dyr efter de nye ejere er kommet i danske kr. Ca 1500 kr + nu ca 100 kr i parkering pr døgn da min kone kommer i kørestol kræver det parkering tæt på måske er parkeringen for dyr inden betalingen var der næsten fyldt op denne gang 1 -3 biler men personalet i restauranten er fantastiske vil vi gerne fortsætte hos jer hvis det er rimelige priser

Cons:

Prisen på overnatningen og især på parkering

Standard 3 star
Pros:

The pool area and bar was nice and chilled! Drinks from the bar were good and the view of sunrise from our room was gorgeous!
The room was on the smaller side but what you expect from 3 star.

Cons:

The smell on the 5th floor corridor was soooo bad!
The walls were so marked and scuffed it just needs a fresh lick of paint
