Établissement très moyen
Pros:

L'établissement est pratique pour un départ matinal à l'aéroport.

Cons:

L'hote d'accueil était désagréable. Il était énervé car on lui demandait comment fonctionnait la climatisation (fonctionnement particulier)
L'établissement est bruyant, non seulement par les avions qui passent toutes les 5 mn, mais aussi à cause des chariots de ménage qui passent tôt le matin. Les oreillers sont inconfortables, il n'y a qu'un drap plié.

Tutto bene!!!
Pros:

La struttura era abbastanza pulita, personale gentile e disponibile e posizione facile da trovare.

Cons:

La zona della piscina è poco curata con pochi lettini.
Nei corridoi dell’hotel non c’e aria condizionata quindi fa molto caldo.

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Hotel überzeugt mit einer super Lage, einer zweckmässigen Einrichtung u
Pros:

Super Lage, zweckmässige Einrichtung und ein kleines, aber feines Frühstück. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal.

Wir haben direkt über das Hotel ein Mietauto organisiert – das hat super geklappt! Innerhalb von nur 45 Minuten war das Auto bereits da und startbereit. Ein wirklich unkomplizierter und angenehmer Aufenthalt – gerne wieder!

Cons:

Für uns war das Hotel etwas hellhörig – ansonsten gibt es nichts zu beanstanden.
