A éviter !
Pros:

Même en cherchant bien, rien !

Cons:

Accueil disgracieux !
Pour les personnes arrivant en voiture, aucune place de parking "arrêt-minute" de disponible (très embêtant car accès à la vieille ville peu pratique et très piétonnier)
Propreté chambre médiocre (les draps ne semblaient pas propres).
Forte suspicion de présence de puces de lit (boutons sur la peau) !!!
Lavabo partiellement bouché.
Robinet baignoire récalcitrant.
Qualité petit-déjeuner mauvaise.
Le tout avec un tarif / nuit hors de prix pour la piètre prestation.
Climatisation peu efficace.
Hôtel à éviter à tout prix.

Pros:

Η τοποθεσία

Cons:

Δεν κοιμηθήκαμε σχεδόν όλο το βράδυ.
Στο ξενοδοχείο υπήρχαν αθλητικές ομάδες νέων,λόγω αγώνων στην πόλη,με αποτέλεσμα να κάνουν πάρτυ όλη τη νύχτα με γέλια ,φωνές ακόμη και τσακωμούς,κάτι που δεν διαχειρίστηκε σωστά από την διεύθυνση.
Επίσης,μόνο κάποιοι εργαζόμενοι από το προσωπικό μας ζήτησε συγγνώμη ,κανεις άλλος δεν ανέφερε τίποτε.
Κριμα.
Τα χρήματα που δώσαμε δεν καλύψανε την απλή ανάγκη,έστω του ύπνου.
Ετυχε σε μας ...

Pros:

Uitstekende locatie in de oude stad. Ruime kamer met goed terras.

Cons:

Moeilijk om parkeerplaats te vinden. Keuze bij het ontbijt was minder onze smaak. Kamers zijn wat gedateerd. Regelmatig hadden we vrij veel lawaai, waarschijnlijk omdat onze kamer vlak bij de lift lag.

Pros:

Very nice location, next to the fort.
We have a room with a view of the pool which was nice, calm and quiet.
The bed was comfy, good breakfast

Cons:

It was an OK room but a bit old style, the floor was with tiles, so not too cosy

Perfect location
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The breakfast was not great. There was too much furniture in the hotel room - it would be much more comfortable with fewer items.

Příjemný hotel
Pros:

Čistý příjemný pokoj. Dobrá koupelna. Perfektní umístění hotelu. Velmi dobrá možnost parkování blízko hotelu za rozumné peníze. Příjemný hotelový bazén.

Cons:

Bohužel snídaně nejsou moc dobré. Džus je z prášku. Míchaná vejce jsou také velmi zvláštní. Je to škoda, protože jinak je to opravdu kvalitní hotel.
