    Breakfast was like nothing..some bread with one kind of ham, cheese and croissant. They brought out an old moldy bread as a gluten-free alternative. Nobody speaks english..only in italian. Far from the city center or any kind of buses. Old pieces of furniture. The cleaners wanted to do their daily cleaning when we were still in the room in the morning..and we needed to wait them to finish.

    Close to the airport, nice garden. Bar staff was friendly.

    The air conditioner in the room was not cleaned for a long time. When you leave the room, they automatically turn off the air conditioner from the system and when you come back to the room it's hot as hell. None of the staff spoke English and communication was difficult. Breakfast was meager, a few slices of cheese, salami and ham, yogurt and croissants from the bar.

    The location of the hotel was 30 meters from the sea. There was a free parking lot attached to the hotel, which was locked every night. The hotel had a lovely garden for lounging and dining with lots of tables and chairs. Also the night lights were unique. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

    We booked for to rest. We were very tired from the road and we were going to fly on in the morning. There was a lot of noise in the hotel. Outside the party, even if I closed all the windows, it was loud. In the hallway as well, there was a lot of commotion, doors were slamming, people were laughing and shouting. We managed with great difficulty to fall asleep very late. In conclusion, we booked a night to rest at the hotel, we didn't manage to rest at all :( maybe it would be an idea to somehow separate the party from the rest, to have a hotel area with more isolated rooms and windows that don't go out straight to the party. I booked this hotel for breakfast, in all the hotels where I've stayed so far, this was from 7 o'clock, of course, it was good to ask about this aspect beforehand. I didn't have breakfast in the morning, I got off at 7, but it's at 7:30 a.m. Maybe it would be good to move it a bit, those who have a flight in the morning, can't benefit from breakfast. All in all, we booked this hotel to rest, but it wasn't possible, we left more tired than we were... we booked this hotel for breakfast, not to leave the airport hungry. We left for the airport, more tired and very hungry.

    I liked the location and arrangement of the hotel garden.

    The state of the hotel. I don't know when the photos were taken on the website but it must have been years ago. Rooms very run down. Old fashioned bathroom and very little space in it. Never again. Am raging Booking.com take the hotel description without checking it out a bit better. I booked it for 4 of us and all week I had to listen to complaints from our friends and I don't blame them in the least.

    Not a lot.

    Wifi was very poor, didn't work most of the time. The hotel is near the sea, but the surroundings are rather industrial. Loud airconditioning, shower head fixed to the wall. Really cheap furniture sums up the picture

    Parking available, 24/7 reception, kind staff, has A/C

    Staff doesnt speak english (even they think they do :)). But it’s not a problem - just a note to fulfill some negative. Breakfast - better eat outside or buy something in the shop. No fridge.

    Location, room was clean, A/C and staff were helpful and kind. But very ok for the money.

    Very basic breakfast (juice, croissant or cake), coffee.

    Very basic hotel near the airport. Okay for a stopover. The taxi from the airport to the hotel is 20 eur. Staff is friendly. PCR test or vaccine certificate is required before the check in.

    It met our expectations. The hotel is far from the center but public busses available and very close to airport so great for pre flight stay.

    Close to beach and airport. Nice lobby and garden and friendly staff. Good restaurant.
