Basic but you get what you pay for. The pool was great, drinks great, food great and the staff were friendly. Big room with a lovely balcony! A little noisy at night but that cant be helped!

This hotel is very nice. Beautiful lobby area. Staff professional and friendly. Swimming pool too small and I didn’t get a chance to try it because it was too crowded. Also They give very limited time for breakfast. It is from 8am till 9:30am and all guests come together to get their breakfast and it’s too many people. For such a big hotel ( I think it’s around 200 rooms families ) it should be at least 3 hours breakfast time. Otherwise all was good. Wi-Fi worked very good.

The room is too small, and the safe is an additional purchase it has some old fashion locks. The dining room is too small and you had to wait to get it.

Très décevant, si vous aimez le calme ne reservé pas dans cet hotel. Le ménage n est pas fait tous les jours dans les chambres, alors que c est noté que le ménage est quotidien. Aucune isolation sonore au niveau des murs.

2/10 Poor

Expérience horrible. Je vous déconseille vivement cet hôtel. Punaises de lit dans l’un des lits, personnel extrêmement désagréable et peu arrangeant (refus d’avoir un oreiller supplémentaire pour un minimum de confort), BRUIT toute la nuit dans les couloirs, piscine trouble et faïence pleine de mousse, jacuzzi inutilisable car plein de vase avec eau jaunie, chambres sales et vétustes… Nous avions réservé deux nuits pour la fin de nos vacances, nous les regrettons amèrement. Un tel établissement est une honte.

La chambre n'était pas très propre. L hôtel n'a pas de parking ! Très difficile d'en trouver un aux alentours ! Le personnel de l'accueil ne parlait pas français, du coup ce n'était pas facile de se faire comprendre ...

Bueno,hace nada que fui con mi pareja y la primera habitación bastante mal,gracias a este hotel voy a pensar en que jamás pille cama de matrimonio xk te meten en un hueco enano que la habitación es de una persona y ya esta, habitación 333 demasiado pequeña para dos y me imagino que habrán más como esas,la primera noche tuvimos problemas con el aire acondicionado de la habitación de la lado que sonaba un ruido como si taladran y al día siguiente nos cambiaron de habitación que fue mucho mejor porque era más grande todo en general,también en las fechas que estamos había mucha gente de vacaciones,pero el tema de la comida muy bien xk había mucha.

Para acceder al hotel hay unas escaleras, no está adaptado. No hay secador en la habitación. Falta actualizar, en nuestra habitación había una balda del armario con un agujero y la puerta del lavabo abollada. El agua de la ducha iba variando de caliente a helada y sin mucha presión. Sobre la comida era repetitiva (y eso que solo estuvimos 3 días y era muy similar). La piscina llena de moho... Deberían hacer mejoras.

Preis _ Leistung Top.

Lage mitten im Zentrum.... Na ja Keine eigenen Parkplätze.... Na ja Kostenloser Sammelparkplatz ca 800m entfernt.... Na ja Keine Möglichkeit mit Kinderwagen, da es zum Eingang nur Treppen gibt und Kinder getragen werden müssen oder Maxi Cosi... Na ja Abendessen gut und reichlich Auswahl, auch Nachtisch, Getränke nur Wasser umsonst, andere Getränke kosten Geld ...Na ja Frühstück ebenfalls Top, riesen Auswahl an kalt und warm, sowie Cornflakes und Marmelade und süßen Sachen...YES Wir fanden es sehr sauber und Rezeption freundlich; spricht Spanisch, französisch, englisch und deutsch.... Eventuell auch mehr... TOP

Buono, nonostante qualche problemino

Ci siamo trovati bene , però abbiamo avuto dei vetri rotti sul balcone per tutta la settimana, che non sono stati tolti nonostante lo avessimo fatto presente . Avendo 2 bambini, non è stato molto positivo. Per il resto tutto ok, buona posizione, cibo vario. Parcheggio troppo piccolo...abbiamo dovuto mettere l auto nelle vicinanze
