Pros:

A sintática das pessoas na recepção

Cons:

O quarto era velho, com muito arranjos por fazer!
Tinha sala e supostamente cozinha, mas a única coisa era um frigorífico e um micro ondas… não havia uma chaleira e muito menos pratos, copos, chávenas…
Não gostei, principalmente porque não foi barato. Aliás tornou-se muito caro para o que ofereciam.

Pros:

El hotel es muy bonito y la habitación super amplia, la cama cómodoa y el desayuno increíble y el personal muy atento y agradable.
Está cerca del corte inglés.

Cons:

Lo que no nos gustó es que está ofertado como apartahotel y tiene una cocina sin menaje , lo tuvimos que pedir y nos dejaron unas ollas y los platos y cubiertos del restaurante , quiero decir que no está preparado para cocinar mucho si vais con esa idea .
Está algo alejado de la zona de bares restaurantes y como íbamos con carrito de niño la zona es cuesta y empedrada con dificultad para moverse , por la noche recomiendo taxi o Uber porque la zona es "oscura" para volver , pero decían que puede ser peligroso y no encontramos nada en ese aspecto.

Pros:

O hotel e os funcionários são impecáveis

Cons:

Efetuamos uma reclamação pois ficamos no mesmo piso entre quartos atribuídos a jovens de uma escola na nossa última noite. O barulho era tanto, de correria no corredor, bater de portas e gritos, que acordaram o nosso filho. Tivemos de contactar a receção por duas vezes e o barulho reduziu pelas 23.30 nos corredores mas durou até cerca das 2.00 no interior dos quartos, e ouvia se muito . Esta situação impediu o nosso descanso na última noite.

Bien,mais il faut prendre en compte les demandes des clients en amont
Pros:

L’appartement est grand et confortable

Cons:

J’avais demandé à ce que la,cuisine puisse être équipée, mais 7l n’y avait que des verres.Pas d’assiettes, pas de couverts, pas de bols pour le petit déjeuner.De plus la plaque de cuisson était bloquée avec une clef.J’ai du utiliser mes doigts pour manger .Je trouve ça très dommageable alors que j’avais bien fait la demande.
