Shower took forever to get warm, cracked bathroom sink, strange checkin procedure. Key left in an envelope by back door but I didn’t see it at first. No reception and spent time walking around trying to figure out how to check in. Also back door not locked. Just room. Didn’t feel as secure as typical hotel.
Great location and property. It is excellent value for the time of year and is close to everything. The shower wasn't the best, but overall, I was very happy with the property.
Self check in. Communication was good. Room average but had been renovated. Sea view room however street light directly in front of window. Not the hotels issue just an FYI for travellers. Close to cafes, restaurants and bars.
The room was clean and well equiped, however the shower was broken and it was a but noisy in the corredor and outside, we could hear it from the room. Apart of it, it was very nice room, I would come back to it if I am ever in this area again.
