“Pretty good, a couple misses”

My husband, my 3 kids, daughter in law, and 3 year old grandson stayed here for 7 nights. The rooms were nice, although small, as is normal for Europe. We had a nice view of the ocean. The room was well appointed, with safe and mini bar. The bathroom was large, but shower doors were folding, and made the shower feel small. Check in was easy, desk staff was nice enough, although we did get wrong info from them a couple of times. That was about bus schedules , though, which seem to change on a whim, so I can't blame them. The misses were with restaurant and staff. Breakfast was good, with lots of options. A yummy wheel of parmesan was my favorite! The first morning though, I wanted to bring tea and coffee up to the room, as we were still exhausted, and not ready to face the world. I made my tea, and asked for a cup of coffee to bring upstairs. The waiter told me no, with no explanation. I said I just wanted to bring it to my husband, who just woke up. Again he said no coffee, and something else in Italian. I said sorry, I don't understand, he shook his head and walked off, muttering, "Americanos" under his breath. Very rude. Another waiter gave me coffee, which I took up. Add it turns out, you aren't allowed to bring that up to your room, I assume so you have to pay the €4.5 fee for room service. Well, that was my bad, I honestly didn't see the sign. I apologized to him after we ate, adding he was fine. But he spoke English, as did other waiters, so someone could have explained it to me. It's a dumb policy, to me, but I'd have complied. The first few days the fruit was covered in fruit flies, and the pot of hot water was never hot. So, mostly a great stay, but better communication is needed.

“Well located, simple and clean”

The best thing about this hotel is that it is only a 2 minute walk or so to the beach. The hotel itself is clean, and the rooms are pretty simple, in standard hotel style, like a business type hotel.

The best thing about this hotel is that it is only a 2 minute walk or so to the beach. The hotel itself is clean, and the rooms are pretty simple, in standard hotel style, like a business type hotel. Breakfast is included in the price of the room, so the rates are very good value (36 euros a night when I stayed). The breakfast has a pretty wide variety, although if you are a vegan there's not much choice. Otherwise good hotel, well located and reasonably priced.
