Pros: the swimming pool, the parking (limited) and the location of the hotel, a stone's throw from the center and convenient for going out by car to the sea. The breakfast girls were very nice and efficient. Well organized breakfast Cons: The restaurant was closed and not indicated, so we had to move for dinner every day. Standard room, but tiny bathroom, no window and no extractor. Very few amenities (we washed ourselves with the products we brought because they used 1 every 2 days ...). The water pressure was not good (reported), and the air conditioning started by itself every now and then (also reported that) and it is not clear how the temperature works. The corridor doors slammed a lot, making the walls tremble. And the rooms weren't soundproofed properly - you could hear the neighbor's TV. They did not respect the timetables: theoretically they closed at 9.30pm and we had to bring a key to open the door. Instead there was one person on the night shift. Otherwise, the room key (which must be left at the reception every time) was accessible to everyone, customers and non-customers. Little security. Bad: the receptionist. Several times we had said that on the last day we would have to leave early but within the opening hours of the reception. Breakfast started 10 minutes late, and the receptionist showed up a further 25 minutes late, without apologizing. Then, even delays to pay, and problems to do it with the card! Magagne? This person should not work at the receptio
