Skuffet
Pros:

God og central beliggende lige ved stranden.
God seng og god størrelse på værelset.

Cons:

Der var mug på badeværelset, både på gulvet og på badeforhænget og hele hotellet virkede slidt. Dårlig lydisolering imellem værelserne.

Muy regular
Pros:

Ubicación

Cons:

El aire acondicionado del todo el piso 14 estaba dañado, las habitaciones un horno! Nos cambiaron de habitación al otro día. El personal habla muy mal inglés y nos llamó la atención que las mismas personas del lobby atendían las mesas en el desayuno. La ducha estaba floja y mal remendada.

Nice hotel on the beach. Can’t beat the location.
Pros:

It is right across from the beach and all the shops and cafes. The main lounge and breakfast room is on the 15th floor with amazing views of the beach and bridge. Rooms are big.

Cons:

The housekeeping was not great. They did not restock toilet paper (like there was none) and the garbage wasn’t taken out.

Pros:

The room is spacious and super clean, the area was super nice too, specially at night time. If you take a taxi to get there, it's better if you get off a couple blocks before, the area is super busy.

Cons:

The staff at the front desk wasn't very welcoming, the first experience it's very confused, the front elevators were under maintenance, only one elevator for the entire hotel and not many signs about it.

地點非常方便，在梯廳可以看到無人機表演。因為訂了無窗的房間，房間太昏暗是唯一缺點。電梯不太好等，但還可以接受。

Goede ligging en goed ontbijtbuffet, maar geen comfortabel verblijf.
Pros:

Het hotel ligt direct aan het strand. Veel restaurants en café’s in de omgeving. Goed ontbijtbuffet met veel keuzemogelijkheden.

Cons:

Bedden waren niet comfortabel en ook maar 1 kussen, dat te dik was. We hebben er 4 nachten verbleven. De schoonmaak was niet iedere dag goed, zoals geen badmat, te weinig toiletpapier, bed niet opgemaakt en gebruikte koffie kopjes niet opgeruimd en geen schone kopjes. Lastig om te douchen in een badkuip. Vensterbank met jaloezieën zijn daardoor helemaal nat geworden. De sporen daarvan, beschimmelde kitnaden, zijn daarom te zien. We hadden 2 2-persoonskamers geboekt. Om 15.30 uur ingecheckt, maar 1 kamer was nog niet klaar. Om 16.30 uur gevraagd of de andere kamer klaar is. Dat was zo, waren ze vergeten door te geven. Jammer ☹️

Would visit again.
Pros:

Great view of the beach and close to restaurants and cafes.

Cons:

had multiple problems with the toilet but they were quick to respond to our satisfaction. Breakfast was a bit bland for our tastes but handy to have a meal available before starting the day.
