Nefasta experiencia no volvería ni aunque me pagaran
Pros:

Nada, el personal era homofobo, y no sabian hablar bien ingles

Cons:

Me cobraron por el servicio de laundry a pesar de haber preguntado si era free y decirme que si, no solo con eso fueron bastante homofobos y cuando vieron que eramos dos chicos nos preguntaron si no prefeririamos camas separadas, cuando pedí una hoja de reclamaciones la gerente se rio de mi, y lo peor de todo me cobraron por el servicio de laundry 220€ y se han cargado varias camisetas tras habwrlas lavado y planchado. Ademas me hicieron dejar un deposito que aumento las fees de aliplay y del cual al reservar no me habian informado dejandome ese dinero bloqueado por días, en general muy mala experiencia porque pediamos que limpiaran la habitacion y solo hacian la cama y cambiaban las sabanas yo soy alérgico al polvo por lo que soy un detector de si no se ha hecho bien humano y me puse malisimo hasta el punto de twner que tomar antiestaminicos

Otimo hotel.
Pros:

Localização excelente. Quarto amplo. Piscina e sauna no Gran Hotel ao lado excelentes. O único "senão" é o café da manha 90% buffet oriental, infelizmente.

Cons:

Única coisa: café da manha buffet 90% oriental. Pouca coisa ao gosto ocidental.
