Had to put the heating on when I arrived as the room was very cold. The decor was very old, paint peeling and skirting loose. The washbasin was clean, hairs on it and the water from the tap was just a dribb. Having a shower was difficult as when you held the shower head up the water stopped altog. At the garage, the hotel advertised the price as €12 when it was actually €17.
Très bon accueil, personnel très gentil. Chambre agréable mais manque de prise (une seule mal placée) et 2 lits simples au lieu d’un lit double. Bien situé
Nada recomendable, instalaciones viejas y deficientes, baño muy viejo. La limpieza muy baja! Telarañas en un rincon de la pared y suelo sucio. El desayuno muy pobre ... poca variedad y falta de cosas. El personal correcto , amable y simpatico .
Hotel de los 70 sin reformar , muy viejo, habitaciones viejas , suelo de vinilo pringoso, para lonque hemos pagado demasiado malo, el personal sin problemas

Íbamos mi amigo y yo y queríamos hacer especial mención al el equipo de recepción porque se han portado muy bien con nosotros. Nos hubiera gustado quedarnos al desayuno por esa bollería que tan buena pinta tenía. Hotel relación calidad-precio bueno y mucho supermercado en los alrededores. Andando en 15 minutos estás en el centro botín.
Schimmel an den Wänden, ein Fenster hat sich nicht schließen lassen, Einrichtung veraltet, äußere Ummantlung des Kabels vom Fön teilweise nicht vorhanden, schmutziges Handtuch in unserem Zimmer.
buona soluzione per chi e' di passaggio consente di raggiungere un'area di locali nelle vicinanze in zona porto frequentate dai locali. Non facile il parcheggio.
Bien placé proche des gares maritime, ferroviaire.
Tres bon emplacement proche des gares et quartier agréable, propre mais un peu vieillot (surtout la salle de bains). Bons restaurants dans la rue d’à côté.
