Η διαμονή μας ήταν εξαιρετική το ξενοδοχείο άριστο !
Pros:

Η διαμονή μας ήταν θαυμάσια . Ξενοδοχείο καθαρό δωμάτιο ζεστό και μεγάλο. Η υποδοχή από την κ.πόπη και τον Μανώλη Ευγενέστατοι και πρόθυμοι σε ότι ζητούσαμε . Το πρόγευμα επίσης άριστο! Σίγουρα θα ξανά έρθουμε κοντά σας και σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ.

Cons:

Δεν έλειπε τίποτα είχαμε πολύ ευχάριστη διαμονή !
Στο δωμάτιο δεν είχε συσκευή για ζεστό νερό για τσάι ή καφέ όταν γυρίζαμε στο ξενοδοχείο αργά. Όμως το προσωπικό στην υποδοχή ήταν πρόθυμοι μας ρωτούσαν τι θέλουμε να πιούμε και μας έφτιαχναν χωρίς καμιά χρέωση.

Rooms and bathrooms are outdated, tv with no child friendly options.

Bearable for short stay
Pros:

The location. It was in the city Centre

Cons:

Everything was outdated and worn out. The bathrooms are a disgrace. Room doors open by themselves even if you carefully close them behind you.
