Pros:

Het was overal dichtbij, maar buiten de drukte. Vanaf het haventje waar de boot aankwam 6minuten wandelen. Kamer wordt iedere dag opgefrist en het ontbijt is bij een restaurantje verder op maar was meeer dan prima!

Cons:

Badkamer zou wat vernieuwd kunnen worden, maar het werkte prima

La clim fonctionne bien.
Un café est mis a disposition dans le lobby des 6h du matin 😊
La terrasse commune

Cons:

L emplacement de l hôtel est bien, malheureusement il y a beaucoup de gros camions, qui, la journée stationnent devant avec le moteur allumé, c'est donc bruyant.

Super Lage, tolles Objekt.
Pros:

Die Lage war perfekt – nah an allem, aber ohne Lärm. Direkt neben dem Ort, wo die Boote zu den Attraktionen abfahren.
Sehr stilvoller Ort mit eigenem Charakter.
Kaffee und Tee stehen im Flur kostenlos zur Verfügung.
Sehr freundliches Personal.

Cons:

Kein Kleiderschrank (es gibt eine Nische, wo man Sachen aufhängen kann), relativ kleines Badezimmer ohne Schränke, keine Möglichkeit, Sachen zu trocknen. Das hat jedoch unsere Zufriedenheit mit dem Hotel nicht beeinträchtigt.

Dissapointing
Pros:

Breakfast was ok

Cons:

It's an old building. But the worst part were the cockroaches, which were all over the room at night. They were even 2-3 cm long.

Todo perfecto, muy agradable.
Pros:

Habitación limpia con camas enormes y un gran ventanal.
El personal ha sido muy amable y nos ha recomendaciones de lugares donde comer y visitar. Tienen las instalaciones café gratuito ilimitado y agua potable en botellas en cada planta del hotel. Las instalaciones estaban limpias. Puedes dejar las maletas a tu llegada y tienen un baño común en la planta principal para poder cambiarte si tu habituación no está lista. Las vistas de la terraza común son impresionantes. Tienen secador y plancha para la ropa disponible en recepción sin coste (usarlo y devolverlo a recepción).

Cons:

Un poco alejado de la zona más turística, unos 5 minutos andando.

AGRADABLE ESTADÍA
Pros:

Disfrute mi estancia en el hotel apesar de que solo me aloje una noche, la chica de la recepción fue muy servicial, amable y atenta a
cualquier duda y información que necesitábamos saber, las instalaciones muy bonitas, camas cómodas y una increíble vista al mar que había en un balcón común en el segundo piso, sin duda con gusto recomendaría este hotel.

Cons:

Solo pequeños detalles como la distancia hasta el centro por dónde está los muelles para tomar las lanchas me pareció un poco lejos más no es algo grave si viajas con suficiente tiempo, y unas sábanas adicionales que solicitamos me pareció que no estaban bien lavadas.
