Great location and property, very clean, nice to have two pillows (one soft and one firm) and the breakfast was delicious. The two things for improvement: Room colors very primary bold, could be more subdude and beds too firm.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights. We had the family suite that was on the ground floor. First off the ac wasn’t working well that I had to go buy a fan from down the street to make the room at least enough for us to feel cool in the room. Willam and the men that work the reception was amazing. Unfortunately the women staff had major attitude and when I asked for an extra towel the lady in the front said “no” after I asked to speak to the manager she quickly changed her mind and gave me one. Not to mention when I checked out they wanted to charge me 10 euros for giving me a towel to use. The location is great. Breakfast is ok. Room was too hot. Not worth the place with the amount they charge for a room.
