Pros:

Trafiliśmy do hotelu zupełnie przypadkowo, w nocy, po anulowaniu lotu. Obsługa bardzo nam pomogła w tej nieprzyjemnej sytuacji. Pokoje okazały się duże i wygodne, śniadanie przyjemne i do tego basen z widokiem na ocean.

Cons:

Z bliska hotel już zaczyna wyglądać na swoje lata, ale ma to swój urok. Lokalizacja na samym środku górki, więc trzeba się szykować na chodzenie pod górę. Plus na dywanie trochę dziwne plamy były.

Pros:

Als Singelreisende hatte ich das erste Mal ein Zimmer mit Meersicht. Ansonsten sind die Fenster für Singels immer Richtung Innenhof oder Schattseitig ausgerichtet.
