Comfortable, friendly and welcoming
Pros:

A last minute booking but this hotel had everything we needed. The staff were friendly, the room was clean, the air conditioning was refreshing and the location perfect. It’s is on a steep hill but close enough to the old town and beach but away from any rowdy nightlife. Just perfect for what we need ⭐️

Cons:

The shower was powerful and warm but it didn’t sit in the frame well so had to be held. No real issue though.

Fint sted, beliggenhet er perfekt, vaskepersonalet trenger noen endringer og mer nøyaktighet.
Pros:

Beliggenheten var bra og personalet var hyggelig og hjelpsomt, fint med basseng på taket

Cons:

Likte ikke at vaskepersonalet ikke fulgte skiltet på dørfestet når vi sa at vi var opptatt eller ikke trengte rengjøring. Føltes ut som privatlivet vårt ble litt invadert. Dårlig tørket med støv under senger og bytta ikke laken, dynetrekk, putetrekk ved rengjøringen. Vi begge er meget sensitive mot støv og nøys og ble smålig syke av støvet rundt om kring

So so
Pros:

The room was spacious enough for a comfortable stay.
The room included a minibar and a kettle, although you need to bring or buy your own tea and coffee.
The location is excellent, very close to the city center and within walking distance of the beach.

Cons:

As soon as you enter the room, there is a strong damp/musty smell.
The furniture is a bit outdated and shows its age.
The breakfast selection was rather limited. The cucumbers were almost tasteless, with some already drying out inside, and the tomatoes lacked flavor on most days except the last one. It gave the impression that the hotel chooses the cheapest possible ingredients.
Sound insulation is very poor. You can clearly hear people passing outside, and late at night there were guests talking and laughing loudly inside the hotel. Unfortunately, no staff member seemed to intervene, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.
Considering the hotel’s overall condition and facilities, I believe the price is higher than it should be.

Pros:

La cama bien

Cons:

Para ser un hotel de 3 estrellas parece más un hostal . El edredón de la cama no está cubierto con una funda la limpieza un poco floja . Aparte la mesilla porque cuando llegamos había manchas en el suelo y no lo tocaron en los cinco días que estuvimos y las cortinas llenas de agujeros . Y que decir de la bañera . La piscina el agua estaba turbia y no tiene bar ni máquina de agua
