Pros:

Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen. Zentrale Lage mit Parkgarage.

Cons:

In der Nähe wurde draussen laute Musik gespielt, die Fenster mussten deshalb zubleiben.

Pros:

A szállás jó helyen van, a kiszolgálás udvarias és hianytalan.

Cons:

A parkolás körülményes. Több hotel is ugyanazt a parkolót használja, ami egyébként nyitott, nemcsak szálló vendégek részére fenntartott. Így nehéz helyet találni. Az elektromos autó töltőnél is hiába van kiírva, hogy azt csak elektromos autók vehetik igénybe.

Pros:

Familienzimmer mit kleinem Balkon und tollem Meerblick. Restaurant und Kaffeehaus mit Liebe zum Detail sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und dekoriert. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Tiefgarage mit ortsüblichen Preis (€ 25,- pro Nacht).

Cons:

Nachts ständiges dumpfes Brummen von der Lüftung bzw. Klimaanlage eines Nachbarhotels hörbar. Tolles Zimmer mit Flair der Vergangenheit jedoch renovierungsbedürftig.

Personal amabil, mancare delicioasa, zona este foarte buna. Per total a fost ok sejurul.
Pros:

Camerele au fost foarte frumoase, personalul amabil si mancarea foarte gustoasa.
Micul dejun variat si gustos! Iar zona in care este amplasat hotelul este foarte buna! La cateva minute de plaja.

Cons:

Baia era cam veche, cabina de dus foarte mica. Necesita renovare!
