Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I stayed in a room with king size bed and a small terrace. The room was comfortable and clean. They left several articles for personal cleaning in the bathroom that I appreciated. As well as a iron with iron table and a hairdryer. The fridge, microwave and coffee machine were in good shape too. I took the breakfast every morning. It was the same every time bus they had enough to choose something different every 2 days. I enjoy my stay here. The personal was amiable and helpful.”
