Pros:

I like the location. Close to shops restaurants and a great tourist destination. The pool was heated.

Cons:

Didn't like the parking. And the bathroom had cracks in the wall. The A.C is situated at the back of the room it don't get as cold as you would like. The water didn't get hot just lukewarm because the knob don't go all the way to hot.

Great stay
Pros:

Location was great, rooms basic but clean, iron and hairdryer included, pool area nice and beds very comfy! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again when visiting.

Cons:

There is no lock for the door, we found it slightly strange that there wasn’t an extra lock for the door. There was a strange twist lock but it didn’t actually do anything. I think the idea is that when you twist it no one can use the key card to enter but we tried it and it didn’t work. Such a minor thing that we would change.
