A great spot to relax before and after a tour!
Pros:

We booked this accommodation at short notice. The hostal is in a great location, staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious.
We loved the pool, and the offer to use their facilities on return from our tour.

Cons:

The hotel used a different exchange rate from standard so the cost of the room was higher than we expected from our booking.

Pros:

Toller Gemeinschaftsbereich draußen mit Bar, dezenter Musik, schöner Beleuchtung und kuscheliger Katze. Gutes Frühstück. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. Wir wurden zufällig am Flughafen mit eingesammelt als zwei Mitarbeiter auf andere Reisende gewartet haben. Tourenvermittlung auf Empfehlung. Gepäckaufbewahrung während der Tour. Zimmer recht groß. Betten bequem. Es gab einen sanitären Notfall, der sofort behoben wurde.

Cons:

Wir hätten uns mehr Ablagefläche und/oder Haken gewünscht.

Ce n’est pas fait pour les jeunes familles.
Pros:

Nous avons bien aimé la piscine au milieu de la cour quoique l’eau ne semblait pas très propre. Nous avons aussi bien apprécié le rapport qualité prix.

Cons:

Premièrement, la salle de bain de notre chambre n’était pas très propre et on pouvait entendre les gens de l’autre chambre à partir de notre sdb.
Deuxièmement, il manquait énormément d’air climatisé. Troisièmement, nous ne conseillons pas aux familles ou aux adultes de 40 et + d’aller dans cette (Hotel) mais pour les jeunes adultes/ados c’est très abordable et convenable. Merci quand même!
