Nicht bekommen was man bucht!
Cons:

Wir bekamen nicht was wir gebucht haben, auf die Anfrage kam die Antwort wir können leider nichts ändern, es wurde ein Zimmer mit Kingsize Bett und ein zustellbett gebucht. Wir bekamen vor ort aber ein Zimmer mit 3 einzelbetten wo wir erst aber warten mussten bis die betten im Zimmer sind. Siehe Fotos.. die betten konnten nicht zusammengestellt werden weil dazischen fest montierte Möbelstück war und es extrem eng im Zimmer war.

Pros:

Вид из моего номера.

Cons:

Я бронировал парковку но паркомест не оказалось а на стойке регистрации мне ничего не предложили. Я бронировал этот отель потому что у него была парковка для меня было это важно.

Relaxing stay.
Pros:

comfortable, spacious room with good view.

Cons:

Would be better if there was a shuttle service to the ferry or train station. Though the train station is walkable by 10-15mins, it is dark and quiet at night.

Pros:

Πολύ καλό προσωπικό και καλό πρωινό.

Cons:

Η τοποθεσία και όταν φτάσαμε Κυριακή βράδυ στο δωμάτιο είδαμε ότι δεν υπήρχαν πετσέτες και όταν ζητήσαμε μας είπαν ότι δεν είχαν γιατί είχαν πρόβλημα με την εταιρεία τους. Μας έδωσαν αυτές που βάζουν στο πάτωμα. Απαράδεκτο!!!
