Decepcionante. Muito abaixo do esperado.
Pros:

Gostei do staffing. Eram atenciosos e muito simpaticos, tanto os segurancas, como na recepçao, como no cafe da manha.

Cons:

Todo o resto era ruim. Cama mole demais, travesseiros moles demais, jogo de cama abaixo do esperado. Não tinham edredon. O quarto estava com areia no chão e pó, além de ser barulhento. Você consegue ouvir absolutamente todas as pessoas que chegam, o q elas fazem e falam.
O cafe da manha era super lotado, com pouca variedade, e qualidade que eu achei ruim. Bolo ruim, croissant duro, poucas frutas.
Realmente eu me decepcionei bastante com o hotel

Goede locatie. Maar dat was het dan ook. Zou er niet meer naartoe willen gaan.
Pros:

Locatie is prima

Cons:

Koude douche, dus geen warm water. Personeel vond dit niet erg boeiend. En had hier geen interesse in.
Ontbijt was uitermate slecht, koffie was niet te drinken en het algemene beeld was ver onder de maat. Een teleurstelling.

Pros:

É minha segunda vez lá, adoro a localização, as instalações e o silêncio à noite

Cons:

Na minha segunda noite, hóspedes em um quarto próximo ficaram até às 4hs conversando alto, dando gargalhadas e até movimentando móveis, tive a impressão de serem 3 pessoas, foi MUITO inconveniente. Minha 3a feira de trabalho foi bem prejudicada.
