Reviews
The shrimp taco was ridiculously made of just 2 shrimps. The steak was good, but an hour is to much to wait.
We visited on 7.9-8.9.2024. The hotel is old and does not meet the requirements of a four-star hotel. The corridors have carpet and the walls are old and in poor condition. There is only soap in the shower room. There is no shampoo, no fridge and no information. If you need something, tea, coffee, water, you have to go down to the first floor and buy it at the R-kiosk. The room is clean, good beds, but even bathrobes are available only for an additional fee. The spa is also apparently not updated. The opening hours of the spa are short, from 12 to 20. The next day we did not have the opportunity to visit the pool, only for an additional fee. A small old hotel without additional services, but the price is high. I have traveled all over Europe and outside Europe and I can say that the hotel does not meet the requirements of a four-star hotel. The staff is not interested in customers and has not provided verbal information. We were given a sheet of paper with a summary of the hotel and the hotel's service.
