Приберить прикроватні шухляди та краще поставьте ліжко хочаб 150*200
Pros:

Дуже привітний персонал!
Вид з вікна на море
Наявність кухні+ їдальні це дуже зручно
В номере було все чисто
Після check out нам дозволили ще скористатись кухнею для сніданку

Cons:

Дуже маленька кімната с дуже маленьким ліжком.це дуже важко назвати двухмапльним. Я маю зріст 167 та вагу 58, чоловік має зріст 188 та вагу 90- ми ледве поміщались-ноги у чоловіка були поза межами ліжка.якщо ви маєте більшу вагу-у вас без шансів спати на цьому ліжку вдвох🙈
Майте при собі електро переходник в отеле їх немає.

Good hotel just hidden suprises
Pros:

Lovely staff and brilliant rooms. Shame about the loud music below

Cons:

Loud music till 12:30am and loud karaoke but was slightly expected. Was woken up by a random person followed by police banging on our door at 04:20 looking for the manager which wasnt great.

Veterans hotel
Pros:

Ideal location to transportation around the island. Room was plenty big for the two of us ! Easy check in and out, water provided which was lovely as well as tea and coffee.
Really liked the seperate entry.

Cons:

Unfortunately due to being on the main road the street lamp shines straight into the bedroom. Also during our stay the pub below had entertainment night which could be heard upstairs.

Les fenêtres étaient assez fine, donc pas mal de bruit venant de la rue pendant la nuit
