Struttura accettabile ma con diverse pecche di pulizia
Pros:

L'hotel era accettabile e non in uno stato fatiscente, posizionandosi su un livello medio ("né troppo buono né troppo poco"). Il bagno era complessivamente buono e la struttura offriva comunque un minimo di comfort e dei servizi base, come una piscina (sebbene con qualche foglia) e delle lavatrici che, nonostante tutto, hanno funzionato correttamente.

Cons:

Ci sono state diverse cose che non ci sono piaciute. La camera era un pochino piccola, priva di spazio a sufficienza e con un odore sgradevole. A questo si è aggiunto un disservizio totale con la connessione: il Wi-Fi della struttura non funzionava per niente in tutto l'hotel, costringendoci a usare quello del ristorante vicino. Inoltre, la piscina era un po' sporca a causa delle foglie, e la zona lavanderia si presentava in condizioni davvero molto, molto sporche.
