Pros:

Nothing was "wow" but decent, comfortable, clean. Just your average hotel. Breakfast buffet is a nice thing

Cons:

Staff did not provide clear instructions to park the car. I had to turn around for a while before finding a parking 2 blocks away from the hotel and walk back. The city is crazy busy with cars...pool is tiny, more a pond.

Hotel classique
Pros:

Une nuit agréable après un accueil chaleureux
Ensemble correct, hotel classique une bonne propreté et une proximité avec les rues piétonnes
Balcon assez petit

Piscine microscopique au même niveau que le trottoir de la rue

Cons:

Franchement, vu la taille de l'hotel, il faut faire des efforts sur le petit déjeuner. Quasi pas de sucré pour un petit déjeuner à la Française, c'est franchement dommage !

Impossible de trouver une place pour se garer, traffic impossible avec une route passagère en sens unique juste devant.

Excellent staff, great location
Pros:

A great asset to the hotel staff! Eirini at Reception, Titika, and Giorgos K. were outstanding throughout our stay. They were always ready to answer questions, accommodate our requests, and go the extra mile to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication made a real difference

Cons:

While the staff were excellent, the hotel's infrastructure appears to lack proper maintenance. Even without a full renovation, investing in small details such as new curtains, better bins, and general upkeep would make a noticeable difference and help elevate the overall guest experience.

Mediocru
Cons:

Hotel mediocru, curățenia făcută superficial, parchet și mobilier învechit și degradat, mic dejun satisfăcător. În rest nu m-aș mai caza.

Pros:

De locatie was top, op het randje van het centrum waar je in de avond heerlijke taverne's had, TOP
Wij hadden een huurauto tot onze beschikking waar wij heerlijke rustige strandjes op gingen zoeken.
Vriendelijk personeel en een goed ontbijt

Cons:

Puntje van "opbouwende kritiek " de douchecabine mag wel een kleine renovatie krijgen
