Pros:

Era cómodo tener el restaurante en el hospedaje y el desayuno incluido, pero no tiene almuerzos.

Cons:

El hospedaje es muy costoso para lo que realmente ofrece. La terraza es muy pequeña y tiene una fea vista. No se hace aseo en la habitación mientras estás en la estancia. La ubicación está bien, pero ni tan céntrico. El personal no es nada amable, si necesitas una ayuda u orientación, no son muy capaces de orientarte. No lo recomiendo por el valor.

zu teuer und nicht zu empfehlen
Pros:

Die Lage am Wasser ist ok. Frühstück nicht überwältigend, aber auch ok. Leider kann ich nicht in die Lobeshymnen anderer mit einstimmen, denn (siehe negativ)

Cons:

Im Badezimmer stinkt es penetrant (zum Glück hat es eine Türe) Die Dusche wurde dilettantisch montiert, so dass sie an die Wand zurück spritzt und man selber nicht mit dem ganzen Körper unter die Dusche stehen kann. Die ganze Nacht brennt extrem helles Licht auf dem Balkon und lässt sich nicht ausschalten, so dass das Zimmer hell erleuchtet wird (Zi 14). Der Vorhang reicht nicht für alle Fenster, so dass ein Fenster mit weisser Farbe übermalt wurde (...)

Correct mais sans plus
Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal et au calme. La vue de la chambre était formidable. De très bons cocktails à l’happy hour !

Cons:

L’hôtel a besoin d’un sérieux coup de jeune. Le personnel n’est pas toujours très aimable, sans être désagréable.
