Pros:

Bruyant
Près de la rue principale avec les bars. Beaucoup de bruit toute la nuit.
Air climatisé insuffisant pour les 2 pièces. Trop chaud.

Propreté qui laisse à désirer.

Décevant
Pros:

Super emplacement, et le garde de nuit etait très sympathique

Cons:

Douche froide matin et soir, literie très peu confortable. Propreté à revoir surtout le frigo. Chaise cassée, manque de produit pour faire la vaisselle et surtout climatisation non fonctionnel et non précisé. Établissement très bruyant nuit et jour.
Remarque déplacée du personnel et on est pas prévenu qu’il y a un room service pour le nettoyage et quand au bout de deux nuits la personne vient et se montre très peu aimable nous reproche de « trop dormir » alors qu’ils n’ont jamais frappé à notre porte auparavant.

Billig o bra!
Pros:

Otrooolig personal, nice pool, man fick alltid plats vid solstolarna och kunde ha en hela dagen! Otroligt läge också om man vill testa på Malias nattliv! Även nära till stranden och ca en miljon souvenirbutiker!

Cons:

Otroligt ostädat😐 Städerskan kom bara om man sa till i receptionen innan. Sen va de typ bara lakanen som va bytta. Det låg nudlar på golvet när vi kom och en tandborste låg kvar sedan tidigare gäster
