Pros:

地理位置很好，住得舒適，房間看到海景很漂亮

Cons:

很多設計上的小瑕疵，比如：
1. 馬桶沖水時水會大量湧出地面，這是難以令人接受的
2. 陽台的椅子和枱面鋪滿骯髒塵埃
3. 冰箱的擺放位置一直會發熱
4. 房間的風格感覺和這個城市格格不入
等等…..
這些都不影響房間的正常使用，但是總帶出一種令人感覺很低廉的拼接感。

Pros:

Excellent location for Camino pilgrims

Cons:

Sauna and pool didn’t work well, some features were broken. It was extremely important for us after a hard walking. Also, we suggest to create a timetable for massages till 10 pm, so everybody can get massage

You’re better off choosing a cute little Airbnb for a more comfortable and charming stay when passing through.
Pros:

The location was fantastic and made it easy to get around. It was nice to have a comfortable bed to myself, and the included breakfast was a convenient bonus. The staff were also helpful and responsive when issues arose with the room, which I appreciated.

Cons:

The hotel feels more like a three-star than a four-star property. While the staff were helpful and the room had a large bed, outdated facilities, electrical issues, a broken hairdryer, bathroom mould and unpleasant smells fell short of expectations. I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant, as better-value options are nearby.

Fun hotel right on the Camino, great location.
Pros:

Very quirky hotel, a fun experience, right on the main plaza full of restaurants and bars. We had massages and used the saunas and indoor pool. Watched some soccer and had a drink in the lounge part of the restaurant in the evening.

Cons:

Nothing.

I would not recommend choosing this property.
Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

Staff were rude on every single interaction whether it was reception or the restaurant. Pillows were a joke.
No matter how beautiful the property is, without courteous service and hospitality it is not a nice place to stay.

Só o chuveiro é uma má solução. Tudo o resto é excelente!
Pros:

Tudo, menos do chuveiro. Devia haver instruções mais simples que evitassem molhar o cabelo quando queremos.

Mehr Schein als Sein
Pros:

Sehr gute zentrale Lage, hübsches Gebäude (äußerlich), gutes Frühstücksbüffet, freundlicher Empfang

Cons:

Es roch im ganzen Gebäude moderig, was durch sehr intensive elektrische Luft“erfrischer“ übertönt werden sollte.
Zimmer mit optischen Mängeln wie Loch in der Wand und abblätternden Wandtatoos
Der Spabereich ist wenig attraktiv: schimmeliger Geruch, Whirlpool funktionierte nicht, Sauna hatte unter 60 Grad, man mochte sich dort wirklich nicht aufhalten
