Ottima posizione per prendere il traghetto e ottimo servizio di trasporto dall'aeroporto al hotel. È stato anche possibile pagare con la carta di credito, cosa non scontata visto che non avevamo ancora cambiato i soldi. C'era l'aria condizionata in camera, wifi e acqua calda.

− Si potrebbe migliorare la pulizia

Terrible. We were there for 20 minutes and left to find alternative accommodation. This place may have been great once b

Absolutely not one single thing. Filthy place

− Security and staff were sleeping when we arrived. Not even a bottle of water on offer - they said we could not buy anything to drink. This was at 5am. Filthy shower and toilet. Aircon and WiFi did not work in the room. Old, faded, stained bedding and the worst smell of mould. I could never clean myself in that disaster of a filthy bathroom or sleep in those beds that look like the bedding has not been changed in years.

− The rooms were not clean. The bathroom was outdated. No toiletries. The towels were worn out. The pillows were stained. The room card key didn't work. The toilet door didn't close and stayed open.

My stay was good.

7.0

Welcoming front desk and manager. Fast internet.

− Electric wall plugs under the desk were not well fixed, intercom was not working, lack of communication between management and front desk staff about my online payment paid. There was no body lotion and toothpaste. There was problem getting food at night as kitchen closes early.
