Pros:

Milk and water in the fridge nice touch and a fan plus A/C unit was thought through with the weather we are having.

Cons:

Not didn’t like, as it didn’t bother me, but the mattress on the double bed needs changing and shower unit kept falling off of the wall, just might bother more fussy people 😊

Découverte d'un petit hôtel sympa
Pros:

Personnel très sympa et serviable! Nous sommes arrivés tard mais on nous a tout de même proposé quelque chose à manger. La chambre était confortable. Pas de bruit malgré la rue à côté. Le petit-déjeuner était très copieux avec des produits locaux.

Cons:

Il faisait très chaud en ce début de juillet et dans la chambre au deuxième étage il n'y avait qu'un ventilateur. La poubelle de la salle de bains n'avait pas été vidée.

One night stopover
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful Staff. Excellent value for money. Comfortable beds and very clean. We also ate lunch and breakfast here and the food was very good.

Cons:

Probably worth investing in some.air conditioning units. The restaurant upstairs was very warm and as our room was on the second floor it was also quite warm with a window which wouldn't stay open. Although a fan was provided. It didn't spoil our stay though,.

Hotel fofo, com equipe excelente, mas não preparado para o calor
Pros:

O hotel é muito fofinho. Fica na rua principal da cidade, então há mercado, cafés, restaurantes e lojas por perto. O quarto é bem amplo e as camas são confortáveis. O ponto alto da estadia é a equipe: são muito simpáticos e extremamente gentis e solicitos: fomos tratados muito bem em todos os momentos.

Cons:

O hotel poderia estar melhor preparado para o verão. O quarto onde fiquei tinha pouca ventilação e não havia ventiladores ou ar-condicionado no quarto. Infelizmente pegamos uma época de onda de calor e ficou bem difícil ficar hospedado, o que nos levou a fazer o check-out um dia antes do previsto. Talvez em épocas de frio ou meia-estação o hotel atenda totalmente as expectativas. Há ar-condicionado no bar no andar térreo, então acabamos ficando bons momentos por lá para nos refrescarmos.
