4.0

Ficamos as 2 noites de estadia sem Wi-Fi. Fizemos reclamação na rececpcao mas sem resolução. Se trata de um hotel antigo, a banheira com fundo todo descascado e entupida. A pia da casa de banho também se encontrava entupida. O cheiro de mofo e de móveis antigos era sentido desde o corredor de entrada até cada quarto. O elevador faz barulhos bem estranhos quando acionado. Toalhas manchadas. As piscinas são razoavelmente boas. O atendimento das recepcionistas foi ótimo, sempre solicitas e educadas. Os funcionários da limpeza e da “manutenção” são de outra etnia e não falam português.

Beskidt - men fint til prisen

6.0

Udemærket hotel, der bærer præg af slidtage. Rengøringen og den generelle hygiejne er ringe. Personalet er imidlertid venlige og imødekommende. Fint til prisen.

It’s ok for group travellers

10.0

Despite the hotel needs a complete upgrade , we enjoyed our stay. Linda, the receptionist was so helpful and super friendly. The staffs managed to find us the fans we asked for as the appartment has only air conditioned in main room. The location is perfect. only 10 minutes walk to the nearest beach and 5 minutes uber drive to the square/old town which is super noisy after 10pm! Great for youngsters but not for us 50 or over club 😆 All in all it was a good stay.

Tout est vieux aussi bien à l'interieur qu'à l'exterieur ! Finalement cher pour les prestations...

Está na hora de renovar

6.0

Os funcionários de limpeza são simpáticos e esforçados mas o edifício está a degradar-se o que dificulta o trabalho.

Séjour de 12 jours. L’arrivée a été compliquée (propreté moyenne, équipements un peu vieux, climatisation en panne au départ et même un cafard dans la première chambre), mais la réceptionniste a été très professionnelle et nous a rapidement relogés dans un appartement plus grand, mieux placé et agréable. L’emplacement est pratique : proche des plages, des restaurants et des activités. À pied, il faut compter 10-15 minutes avec pas mal de pentes, donc prévoir de bonnes chaussures. Avec quelques rénovations et plus d’attention à l’entretien, ce lieu pourrait vraiment être excellent.
