Dit is mijn 3e keer in Babis en bevalt prima.
Simpel maar goed.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niets

Pros:

Très agréable hotel, propre. On peut y trouver un petit frigo ce qui est pas mal..rien a dire sur le lit, on y dort très bien.. beaucoup de choix dans le petit déjeuné. Nous avons adoré l'accueil du personnel et surtout la gentillesse de la propriétaire qui nous a appris quelques formules de politesse en grec et nous la remercions beaucoup.
