Pros:

Erinomainen aamupala, hotellin kuntosaliksi erittäin hyvä sali, siistit huoneet

Pros:

Viesnīca atrodas starp jūras līci un vecpilsētu, līdz ar to var ērti un ātri ērti pārvietoties visur. Patika tas, ka tā ir pāris kvartālus tālāk no saspiestā centra rajona. Brokastis ļoti labas. Laipni uzņēma mūs ar sunīti. Autostāvvieta viesnīcas pagalmā jāpiesaka iepriekš - 10Eur par 24H.

Cons:

Ūdens dušā nenotek pietiekoši ātri.
Lai arī informācijā bija uzrādīts, ka var tikt pieprasīta maksa par mājdzīvniekiem, daudz ērtāk būtu ja aprakstā būtu minēta jau konkrēta samaksa, kas ir 20 Eur.

Great stay, but literally No View!
Pros:

Pretty much everything, except for the view from the window - there was a wall right outside! Otherwise, the room was excellent, check-in was easy, the breakfast was fantastic, and the price was very reasonable. Overall, a really great stay!

Cons:

I would have happily given this place a perfect 10, but... there was literally a wall right outside the window! It felt a bit strange, to say the least. Everything else was excellent, but I just couldn't bring myself to give more than an 8 because of the complete lack of a view. That's honestly the only reason!

Nukkumapaikka, oma parkkeeraus.
Pros:

Aika suppea aamiainen, yleensä on runsaampi valikoima
Siisti paikka

Cons:

Ei palveluja. Kirjasto/oleskelutilakaan ei auki jossa olisi voinut istuskella. Ei palveluja tarjolla ajan kuluksi.

Huoneisiin vasta kello 15.00. Aika myöhäinen, meneekö kolme tuntia siivouksessa? No ei mene, ja jos menet huoneeseen aiemmin, siitä veloitetaan nykyään 10 euroa. Ei hyvä! Kerätään ylimääräistä rahaa vielä huonehinnan lisäksi, meneekö työntekijöille jakoon?
