Pros:

Location was perfect. Everything around the hotel and located inside centrum.

Cons:

Hotel is old building. Very bad and stinky inside the room.
Bathroom has not air condition and you can feel stinky when you seat in the room. They hang the toilet paper on a pin side by the toilet brush. Very poor bathroom.
Backside the hotel is Disco Tek, so weekends are very noisy.

Personnel scandaleux, hôtel à fuir
Pros:

Emplacement central et parking disponible sur place

Cons:

Le monsieur de l’hôtel qui nous a accueilli a été totalement impoli et agressif. Il ne parlait que portugais ce qui est très handicapant dans une ville touristique. Il a tenté de nous empêcher l’accès à la chambre quand nous lui avons dit que nous n’avions pas d’argent liquide pour payer le parking alors qu’il était 23h. Il criait en portugais, nous avons dû le sortir de notre chambre. Je déconseille fortement cet hôtel dont les équipements sont vétustes, la rue est bruyante, le service proposé est le stricte minimum. La personne de l’accueil a été vraiment traumatisante pour nous

Not a bad place at all, I liked it, but probably I would not go back.
Pros:

The balcony and the view I got with the room was very nice.

Cons:

The room was unexpectedly tiny. Overall, not what I expected, especially based on the price. The photos are very nice and the place does look like them, but just somehow it's still different, I cannot explain it. Was ok.

Boas instalações, ótima localização e um café da manhã bem servido, tornando a experiência muito positiva.
Pros:

Ficamos do dia 13 ao dia 15/07/26.
Eu, meu esposo e minha sogra ficamos hospedados por duas noites neste hotel e tivemos uma ótima experiência. O atendimento foi excelente! O Sr. Alberto e a Sra. Ana foram extremamente simpáticos, atenciosos e prestativos durante toda a nossa estadia. Guardaram nossas malas após o checkout e ainda nos deram ótimas orientações sobre os principais pontos turísticos da cidade, o que fez toda a diferença.

As instalações são mais antigas, mas tudo é muito limpo, organizado e bem conservado. A localização também é excelente, permitindo fazer muitos passeios a pé. Com certeza nos hospedaríamos novamente e recomendamos o hotel a quem procura um atendimento acolhedor e uma ótima relação custo-benefício.

O café da manhã também foi muito bom, com bastante variedade e reposição dos alimentos, sempre em abundância. Atendeu muito bem às nossas expectativas.

Cons:

O banheiro é um pouco pequeno, especialmente o espaço do sanitário, o que pode ser desconfortável para pessoas mais altas. Também sentimos falta de um espelho no quarto, já que havia apenas o do banheiro, o que dificulta um pouco quando mais de uma pessoa está se arrumando ao mesmo tempo. Tirando esses detalhes, não tivemos nenhum problema durante a estadia e a experiência foi muito positiva.

Keskustan Söpö hotelli
Pros:

Mukavasti uudistettu vanha hotelli. Hotellin henkilökunta oli iäkästä ja kohteliasta. Hotelli on todella keskeisellä paikalla, mutta silti hiljainen.

Cons:

Aamiainen oli niukka. Wc pesuaineet eivät sopineet minun iholle

Oda çok dar ve basık olsa da konumu yönüyle güzel bir tesis.

Çok merkezi konumdaydı her yere yakındı çalışanlar çok yardımseverdi isteklerimi yerine getirmeye çalıştılar.

Cons:
