Pros:

Nada

Cons:

El personal nada amable, el parqueo súper incómodo en la mañana los huéspedes se deben despertar para que muevan los vehículos, está alejado de la ciudad, cuando llegamos había un escorpión en la habitación y la luces no funcionaban, los colchones no son nada confortables y el internet fallaba mucho. En fin fue una experiencia desagradable.

Mäßiges Hotel in schöner Stadt.
Pros:

Eric an der Rezeption war nett und hilfsbereit.
Die Lage war nah am See und ca. 20 min Fußweg zur historischen Stadt.
Wir durften die Fahrräder benutzen.
5 Punkte weil der Preis wirklich erschwinglich ist.

Cons:

Die Einrichtung ist völlig veraltert.
Die Dusche ist kalt.
Die Betten sind durchgelegen.
Der Kühlschrank war unhygienisch.
Die alte Klimaanlage funktionierte zwischendurch nicht.
Wir haben kurz nach der Abfahrt festgestellt, dass wir unser Ladegerät fürs Handy und den Adapter liegen gelassen haben. Es war nicht mehr auffindbar… wir nehmen an, jemand konnte es gut gebrauchen… das war sehr ärgerlich!

Hotel cómodo.
Pros:

Los muchachos que nos atendieron muy amables. Salimos de noche y llegamos en la madrugada y aún así nos abrieron muy atentamente muchas gracias.

Había parqueo que eso es un gran plus!! Tienen bicicletas disponibles lo que pudimos hacer un ride precioso en toda la calzada.

El desayuno muy completo frutas y gallo pinto. Muy amables!!! La habitación bien espaciosa con todos los amenities que uno ocupa. Gracias!!

Cons:

En la noche el A/C hacía un ruido raro pero funcionaba al 100%.

Pros:

L'emplacement sur le malecôn, pas trop loin de la place centrale, le personnel est bienveillant et le directeur aux petits soins. Chambre certes un peu petite mais confortable. Loin du bruit, de la musique et un plus avec les hamacs à l'étage. Le petit déjeuner est complet. Un bel endroit

Cons:

La chambre est trés proche de la réception donc le téléphone du gardien le soir, les discussions des dames le matin, vous entendez tout. Autrement rien
