Μια βραδιά στο Ρέθυμνο
Pros:

Η άνεση και η καθαριότητα.

Cons:

Δεν υπήρχε parking του ξενοδοχείου οπότε έπρεπε να κατεβάσουμε τα πράγματα μας και να παρκάρουμε στο φυλασσόμενο parking στο λιμάνι με επιπλέον χρέωση.

A welcoming hotel in a great location
Pros:

the room was clean, the breakfast was excellent and the staff were very welcoming. This combination makes any stay very good.

Cons:

Unfortunately I kept smelling cigarette smoke, and the room initially smelled of cigarettes too. I am a bit allergic to the smell, it would be nice if certain sections of the hotel would be smoke-free

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt
Pros:

Das Personal ist äußerst hilfsbereit, freundlich und entspannt !
Die Lobby des Hotels, der Frühstücksbereich, besonders außen sind für ein nicht mehr ganz neues Hotel sehr charismatisch.
Das Frühstück empfanden wir sehr gut.
Es hat halt alles etwas Patina, auch die Zimmer, aber das macht ja gerade den Charme.
Die Lage ist spitze, der Dachpool im 6. Stock außergewöhnlich.

Cons:

Nichts

Pros:

Tout était parfait, du jardin à la piscine sur le toit, de l’accueil et le professionnalisme du personnel à l’emplacement, pour visiter la vieille ville ou pour aller à la plage.

Este un Hotel de 2 stele ,nicidecum 4 stele
Pros:

Locatia

Cons:

Mic dejun acelasi , repetat in fiecare zi , slab diversificat, calitate slaba a produselor, prea putune produse autohtone, fructe puține, daca nu te trezeai devreme nu mai aveai, ouale ochi si cele fierte erau reci, scoase din frigider si nu erau proaspete
Hotelul in general trebuie renovat , bsilr in mod special, chit sarit, rugina, baterii care merg greu, miros urat persistent in baie
Personalul de servire necalificat

Pros:

The hotel was very clean, the staff very polite and courteous. My room was made up every day to a high standard, and the valuables in the room remained safe at all times. The breakfast was also very satisfactory.

Cons:

I would recommend highlighting which of the dishes contain meat in any form (for example, if the omelette has bacon in it).
