Categories

Cleanliness
7.2
Mixed reports: several guests mention ants in sinks/desk and rust/paint loss in a bathtub, while others explicitly note clean rooms. Overall slightly below standard due to insect reports and isolated maintenance issues.
Service
8.7
Generally praised: multiple reviews highlight friendly, helpful staff, early access to facilities and attentive reception. A few mentions of unfriendly restaurant staff, but service overall is a clear strength.
Location
7.8
Mixed sentiment: convenient for certain attractions and public transport/tram for some guests, sea views and quiet for others; several complaints about distance from beaches, being set on a back alley or awkward access in a building.
Room Quality
7.6
Positives include comfortable beds, some rooms renovated and with terraces; negatives include missing mini-fridges/minibars, occasional worn furniture, curtain issues and dated fittings in some rooms.
Amenities
7.8
Strong points: large pool, free parking nearby, gym access and generally good facilities. Downsides: lack of in-room fridges/minibars reported repeatedly and some guests found pool/photos misleading.
Value for Money
8.2
Generally good value according to several guests (explicit 'Preis-Leistung TOP' and positive comments), though a few felt breakfasts or certain aspects did not justify price.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast receives praise in multiple reviews, but there are consistent complaints about buffet items missing/not replenished, an average hotel restaurant and an extra charge for breakfast noted by one guest.
Overall Experience
9.2
Majority of reviews are very positive: comfortable sleep, helpful staff, good pool and nice views for many guests; isolated very negative experiences (cancelled reservation, poor access) exist but do not dominate the overall sentiment.

Pros:

Łóżko 2osobowe to jeden materac, a nie jak zazwyczaj 2 łączone. Za to plus.

Cons:

W pokoju zagrzybiala klimatyzacja, jak ktoś jest alergikiem jak ja, to odradzam, a dla nie-alergikow to też nic zdrowego. Pokój wymaga odświeżenia, zapach stęchlizny. Brakuje wody, Szklanki, czajnika, chociaż w Hiszpanii rzadko mozna się z tym spotkać. Śniadania monotonne, ekspresy do kawy tragiczne, kelnerzy niemili, powolni. Często brak wolnych stolików, ponieważ nie byly sprzątane regularnie, brak talerzy, sztućców, trzeba bylo chodzić i prosić o donoszenie czy posprzątanie stolika. Brak łyżeczek, tylko plastikowe...
Niestety nie polecam.

Pros:

The accommodation is clean and beautiful, the beds are comfortable, and we had a wonderful sea view. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

It is very noisy. Our room was located directly below the restaurant, so we could constantly hear people talking loudly and chairs being dragged across the floor. If you don’t have your own transportation, the accommodation is quite far from the town centre. There is only one beach nearby, about a 10-minute walk away.

Don't let the outside put you off
Pros:

I'm afraid you do not get a very good first impression of the hotel from the outside, but please don't let that put you off as it is really nice inside. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the bar and restaurant are both excellent, and we both agreed that the set 3 course menus they offer in the evenings were excellent. There is a large swimming pool about a 5 minute walk away with free towels available at reception, but no pool bar from what we could see.

Cons:

There are very few bars and restaurants within comfortable walking distance of the hotel, and it is unfortunate that they seem to choose the same days to close which meant we ate in the hotel for both nights.
It didn't effect us but I feel that September 30th is a little early to close the outside pool as there are no really nice beaches within walking distance. I would have thought that they could easily stay open until the end of October

Een zeer positieve indruk
Pros:

Dit was mijn eerste vakantie in Spanje en ik moet zeggen dat het hotel een zeer positieve indruk op mij maakte. De kamer had uitzicht op zee. De kamer zelf was ook nog eens mooi. Daarnaast was er ook een mooie looproute naar de tramhalte La Isleta langs de zee.

Cons:

Niks

Var okay til prisen men det er ikke et sted jeg ville vælge igen.
Pros:

Beliggenhed var fin

Cons:

Alt for meget larm. Fra værelset kunne man høre alt hvad der forgik ude på gangen. Alt for lydt. Havde meget svært ved at sove. Larm fra alle sider af værelset.

Ingen køleskab på værelset. Det kunne man godt bruge til at holde vand mm koldt. Dyr vendormaskine. Betalte 1 eur for 4 isterninger r.

Great value compared to the city hotels.
Pros:

The staff were amazing.

Cons:

Location was a little bit out of main city however, a short walk to the tram for a ten min ride got you to the city.

Zelo povprečno, preslabo glede na eno.
Pros:

Lokacija dobra, mirno in ob morju. Dober dostop do avtobusa, vlaka.

Cons:

Za peš malo predaleč iz mesta. Zajtrk sicer dober a žal pečena jajca hladna, konstantno je manjkal pribor, skodelice... Pogrinjki niso bili pripravljeni, mize slabo očiščene, po tleh marsikaj. Zajtrk vsekakor ni vreden 10 €.
Čistoča v sobi slaba. Po tleh ni bilo počiščeno saj so po tleh lezle drobne bibe. Kozarca neoprana. Balkon prašni in umazani stoli, tla umazana.
