Le muy bien lo que te ofrece la habitación para evitar llevarte una sorpresa por el precio pagado.
Pros:

La zona donde está ubicado el hotel es muy bonita y la vista al mar es preciosa.

Cons:

Fue culpa mía no haber leído completamente las condiciones de la habitación, sinceramente no me hubiera esperado encontrar en Booking por el precio que pagué una habitación en la que compartieras el baño y regadera con otras habitaciones.

Excellent stay, highly recommended.
Pros:

Loved the location, atmosphere and restaurant. Seafood chowder was a hit at our table. Super clean and cosy. Bathrooms were really nice and we appreciated the nice toiletries. Very friendly staff. We only had one night, would have loved another one.

Cons:

An additional or clearer sign in the kitchen area for people to clean up after themselves and to be respectful of other guests still sleeping. We cleaned up after a group of people had left their dirty dishes / smeared spreads / food crumbs on the bench to enable us to make a coffee and some toast. There was also no butter in the fridge.
