Pros:

Top Lage! Zimmer waren schön, das Doppelbett riesig groß, beim Frühstücksbuffet gibt es nichts zu meckern, super Dachterrasse mit Pool! Von dort aus hat man auch eine schöne Aussicht. Mein Mann hatte während unserem Aufenthalt Geburtstag und wir erhielten daher eine kleine Torte und 1 Fl. Sekt auf's Zimmer (sehr nette Geste vom Hotel).

Super hotel in excellent location
Pros:

Loved everything about this hotel. Great location in the old town. Had a balcony overlooking restaurants in the square below, with a view of the old town, hills and sea. Room had aircon so it was nice and cool. Delicious buffet breakfast with everything you could possibly want, hot or cold. Very clean and spacious. Rooftop pool. Couple of minutes walk to the sea front where all the bus and boat tours are, cable car, etc. Definitely recommended.

Cons:

Nothing, it was all great.

Top Lage, aber...
Pros:

Top - Lage
Sehr gut - Frühstück - allerdings wurde der Frühstücksraum aus unerklärlichen Gründen bei 16° Außentemperatur immer auf Kühlschrankniveau gekühlt.
Personal - professionell
Pool und B-Heaven Bar - naja

Cons:

ABER: Wenn ich ein 5* ( ????? ) Hotel in einer belebten Altstadt mit zahlreichen Bars und Restaurants in der Nachbarschaft betreibe, sollten die Fenster so sein, dass vom ganzen Treiben nichts in die Zimmer gelangt. Fenster auf - Fenster geschlossen macht zwar einen Unterschied, aber keinen besonders markanten.
