Buon pernottamento
Pros:

Mi sono trovato bene in questa struttura. La posizione è ottima, a pochi minuti a piedi dalla piazza centrale, di fronte al mare. Il check in è stato rapido. La mia camera al quarto piano con ascensore aveva una bellissima vista del mare. Il bagno è funzionale. Ho gradito molto l'aria condizionata. Peccato di non avere usufruito della colazione perché sono partito presto.

Cons:

In generale, qualche cosa si potrebbe migliorare. In bagno non c'è una mensola per poggiare il beauty case. Il fatto che all'uscita si stacchi la corrente non permette di ricaricare batterie in mia assenza e di raffreddare le bottiglie in frigo.

Really enjoyed my stay here and felt like I was being taken back in time.. Grazie mille
Pros:

I love the old fashioned style of the property and the view was incredible… the staff were also very lovely, the people at reception and also the cleaners. Gentilissimi :)

it was also good value for money!

Cons:

Just the shower – the temperature was never right but it was also extremely hot so I just had cold showers every day. The bed in the single room was also a little uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was great

Pros:

Lo que más me gustó es q está en 1a línea de un puerto deportivo y se desayuna mirando al mar.

Cons:

El personal de recepción muy poco amable y comprensivo. Les comenté que la foto de la vista de la habitación no coincidía con mi vista de la habitación y no fueron nada comprensivos. A pesar de ser tb restaurante, no hacían descuento con los huéspedes del hotel. Sólo llegar y hacer el check-in, ya me hicieron pagar y al marcharme no me desearon ni buen viaje. No me había encontrado nunca con gente tan maleducada.

Pros:

Costa dalle camere

Cons:

Struttura molto vecchia con evidente poca manutenzione .
Il motore del
Condizionatore all’esterno della camera che dava nella terrazza era tutto rugginoso con un secchio sotto per raccogliere l’acqua che cadeva … 🤣

Das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, es ist aber sauber, die Lage ist toll, die Aussicht vom Frühstücksraum ist fa
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut, direkt am Meer und die Innenstadt ist in 5 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Cons:

Nicht jedes Zimmer hat einen Balkon, wenn man darauf Wert legt, muss man dies unbedingt dem Hotel mitteilen!
