Buon compromesso
Pros:

Ottimo compromesso per l'isola

Cons:

Nella descrizione della stanza "si affaccia sul giardino interno" mentre nella realtà ci sono delle finestre che si affacciano al muro di un edificio adiacente

An sich in Ordnung für das Geld ich würde aber vermutlich nicht wieder kommen.
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal welches sehr hilfsbereit war.
Bus Station sehr nah zum Hotel.

Cons:

Unser erstes Zimmer 211 hat beim reinkommen extrem nach Moder und Schimmel gerochen wir bekamen direkt Kopfschmerzen und die Wände sahen auch sehr feucht aus. Wir gingen direkt zur Rezeption und bekamen Zimmer 212 das Zimmer war deutlich besser und roch nicht so schlimm, dennoch sind nach einer Zeit wenn die Klima Anlage ausgeschaltet war Art nasse Luftblasen an der Tapete erschienen was daraufhindeutet dass auch die Wand feucht ist.
Der Weg in die Stadt hat kaum Bewege.

Great!
Pros:

Location is strategic. Staff is very friendly

Cons:

Parking may be an issue if the hotel is fully occupied. Staff will be able to help. But you’ll have to double park.
