Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt bei einem günstigen Preis mit Frühstück gut.
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Es war sauber

Cons:

Die Unterkunft ist in die Jahr gekommen. Der Fahrstuhl macht komische Geräusche also es funktioniert alles aber es ist beim ersten Mal verunsichernd. Der Pool sieht schlecht aus es fehlen überall Fliesen. Die Zimmer sind in den 80/90er stecken geblieben.

Obfite śniadania, choć codziennie jajecznica, co po tygodniu było monotonne . Za to świeżych owoców bardzo duży wybór.
Pros:

Obsługa była bardzo miła. Ręczniki, talerzyk dodatkowo zawsze wypożyczyli bez problemu.

Cons:

W łazience po 2 dniach nie uzupełniano płynów, szamponów do mycia.
