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.

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.

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
