Reviews
Bed sheets were yellow, cockroach and other insects in the bath room, in general not cleaned at all. When we arrived on the first evening, there was hair in the room. I did go to the reception 3 times in 7 days to ask for a deep clean, but I think that was their best. 🤢😭
4 stars for this hotel must be a joke!!!
Food was acceptable but when your room and the facilities are not clean you can’t enjoy the food.
Apart of the location and view, everything else gets 1 star!
Also, the location is very good with lots of restaurants and supermarkets nearby
One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast buffet. For just €13.50, it offered a wide variety of options—fresh, tasty, and definitely worth the price.
Overall, a lovely experience and great value for the money. Would happily return!
