Μέτρια εμπειρία
Pros:

Ήταν κάπως καλή η τοποθεσία.
Επίσης, το bar από κάτω από το ξενοδοχείο είναι πάρα πολύ ωραίο.
Κάποιοι από το προσωπικό, ήταν ευγενέστατοι.
Το δωμάτιο ήταν σχετικά μεγάλο.

Cons:

Πολύ κακή σχέση ποιότητας - τιμής. Ήταν πάρα πολύ ακριβό για αυτό το ξενοδοχείο και για αυτό το δωμάτιο.
Θα πρέπει να κάνουν σοβαρή ανακαίνιση στα δωμάτια τους.
Το πρωινό δεν ήταν πλούσιο, αλλά τουλάχιστον κάποια πράγματα ήταν ποιοτικό.

A lovely place to stay for 3 nights
Pros:

Close walking distance to almost everything. Good breakfast although it was self serve buffet there was lots of choices and everything was continually being refreshed. I was very pleased.

Cons:

The head board on the bed was peeling and it took away what would have been a higher rating

Une excellente surprise !
Pros:

Très bien situé, confortable et accueillant. Restaurant/ bar sympathique.

Cons:

Franchement, pas grand chose à redire. La salle du petit déjeuner est un peu tristounette mais c’est vraiment secondaire.
