Pros:

Κεντρικό κοντά σε μέσα μαζικης μεταφοράς κι σε πολλά αξιοθέατα

Cons:

Λόγω αναβαθμισμένου δωματιου θα έπρεπε να υπήρχε η παροχή νερού κάθε μέρα

Good location, great staff, but looking a bit tired these days.
Pros:

Lovely hotel, great location, really nice and helpful staff. Good breakfast, lots of choice. Room wasn’t a good size (much better than before).

Cons:

The fact that the rooftop bar was closed. Also the fact that the room wasn’t cleaned until late afternoon. The rooms also need new towels. Although they are clean, they are poor quality, threadbare and well overdue for replacement.

Falta de congruência entre marketing e realidade
Pros:

A localização é ótima e a equipa são relativamente simpáticos

Cons:

Escolhi este hotel com base no ginásio; infelizmente a realdade face as imagens no site e no Booking.com são totalmente diferentes. Deveriam ter a sinceridade de atualizar as imagens e não induzir as pessoas em erro. Adicionalmente, só notificam as pessoas que o spa está fechado após a compra

Will visit again.
Pros:

Excellent location! Breakfast was ok. View from terrace is a nice option for evening. Definitely I will choose this hotel again.

Cons:

Just suggestion.
Because of football world cup games, it would be wonderful for hotel visitors to have big screen in terrace for watching football and drink beer))

El hotel es muy bonito, con una excelente ubicación, personal sumamente amable y desayuno muy completo. Los cuartos están limpios y son de buen tamaño.
