All good
Pros:

Everything was perfect. It's my 4th time to stay. The only thing I wasn't happy about that for the 1st time i had to pay for parking. And that was the 1st time. I think residents should not have to pay for parking.

Cons:

Parking free

Pros:

Il parcheggio comodo sotto l'hotel

Cons:

Una mattina ci hanno cambiato solo gli asciugamani, ma non hanno rifatto il letto e neanche rimesso la carta igienica. Ancora non ho capito il perché.
Non è realmente un 4 stelle.
In più non c'era la doccia ma solo vasca senza doccino che facilita.

Lovely hotel in prime location with friendly helpful staff
Pros:

Loved the prime location, hotel decor, staff were lovely and helpful and the hotel was nice and quiet. Really enjoyed the breakfast with plenty of variety. Overall would recommend hotel

Cons:

It’s only a small thing and wouldn’t stop me staying in the hotel again but I was in one of the triple rooms with 2 friends on the ground floor and whilst the room was lovely and comfortable and clean we didn’t like the fact we didn’t have a window in the room. And maybe if we’d asked we might have gotten a different room. But like I said it wouldn’t stop me staying there again or recommending it to my friends

Trop cher pour la prestation proposée
Pros:

La qualité de la cuisine, le personnel agréable de l'hôtel et la proximité géographique avec tous les départs pour les excursions

Cons:

Le style daté de l'hôtel, la propreté approximative, la VMC vétuste dans la salle de bain, les équipements pas dignes d'un 4 étoiles.

Pros:

Le personnel de l'hôtel est très aimable. Les lits sont très confortables.
Localisé dans une zone portuaire pas très jolie, mais à 5min du centre.

Cons:

L'absence d'eau potable dans la chambre, 500ml par personne en bouteille le 1er jour, rien les jours suivants à moins d'aller réclamer à l'accueil, et on a droit à 500ml par personne seulement chaque jour. L'eau du robinet n'est pas potable et sent fort la boue et la vase. Pas agréable pour la douche et le brossage des dents. La baignoire et la robinetterie sont vétustes et peu fonctionnels.
Pas de petit déjeuner inclus dans le tarif de 300€ par nuit.
