Dobra cena do jakości, basen świetny, korzystaliśmy
Pros:

Podobał nam się basen i że blisko była piekarnia

Cons:

Przy jednej wymianie ręczników zostały zabrane i obsługa nie dołożyła nowych. Ale na recepcji bez problemu dostaliśmy

Pros:

Ωραίο δωμάτιο, μείναμε εκεί λόγω της βολικής τοποθεσίας του κοντά στο αεροδρόμιο. Φιλικό προσωπικό.

Cons:

Θα θέλαμε η λειτουργία της πισίνας να ήταν έως πιο αργά τώρα το καλοκαίρι που βραδιάζει αργά.

Pros:

Camera in generale e colazione.

Cons:

Letti durissimi. Praticamente un materassino su un tavolaccio di legno. Per me grosse difficoltà a dormire.

Disappointing
Pros:

Very close to the airport, and very fast check out process that helps when you have a flight to catch

Cons:

The bedroom did not match with the photos. It was much older. The AC takes 10 minutes to start working. The breakfast was poor quality, and the dishes and the cutlery were a bit dirty - we needed to search for the clean ones
