It was certainly unique ! Our room was a joke : shower was on its last legs with black mould and no hot water , fittings so old they would never look clean, tufts of hair on floor. Wardrobe door was hanging off ( this was fixed promptly) room smelled of damp , mini bar had a price list but was empty, the 'safe' deposit box was not attached to anything so completely useless. The balcony was scary. When everything around you is in disrepair ,we were definitely not going to chance it. There were stairs down to the pool, dont forget anything though - it's a long way back up. This hotel describes itself as 'wheelchair accessible ' . Well, maybe coming in - but leaving it to go up to main shopping area is a steep incline . How on earth do you expect wheelchair users to manage that ? Ridiculous.

Ich hatte schon verschiedene Bewertungen gelesen die nicht so gut waren, in dem fall kann ich das bestätigen ich habe mir 4 Zimmer zeigen lassen bevor ich dann halbwegs zufrieden war. in den unteren ebenen riecht es als würden man im Berliner Altbaukeller wohnen müssen, ekelhaft . Ab der 2 Etage hört der Geruch auf die Klimaanlage hat nur eine Funktion sie heizt , Die Handtücher, lach! sowas würde ich nicht mal als Putzlappen benutzen. Im ganze ist das Hotel von aussen sehr Charmant, drinnen incl. Personal eine Katastrophe . kein Witz.

Langt fra 4 stjerners hotell

Dette er veldig langt fra 4 stjerners. Personale var veldig hyggelig, bortsett fra sjefen sjøl som var grinete og sur, han irettesatte sin ansatt foran sine gjester.Bassengområdet var tragisk, skittent og en heis som var ute av drift.Frokosten var ok, bortsett fra første dag, gikk tom for brød, andre dag tom for smør. Kun en toalettrull pr. dag, måtte hente i resepsjonen sjøl.Badehåndkler luktet surt og var av forskjellig farger og kvalitet. Veldig bra beliggenhet til gamlebyen , styr unna dette»4 stjerners hotellet»
