Pros:

The beds were nice a breakfast was great

Cons:

When I made my booking a requested a bathtub, and then when we got there we got a room with the shower. I specifically confirm with them that I had a bathtub in my room and they emailed me back saying yes you're booking has a bathtub. And then when I got there it was a shower they lied to me!

Pros:

По фотографиям эта гостиница смотрится лучше.

Cons:

Много народу, качество завтрака не очень. Сама гостиница не соответствует 4 звездам и цене. Зона бассейна какая то неопрятная что ли, там не хочется оставаться.
