Pros +

  • Good vie to the ocean and the airport..
  • Location was good. Beautiful view. Studio room was spacious and very comfortable. The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating.
  • The room was of a suitable size, providing comfort, and the location is excellent, very central and close to everything you need.

Cons -

  • No wifi in the rooms.
  • Internet. Access to the internet was only available in the reception area, and was weak at best.
  • The cleanliness of the room was very poor. There was a spider carcass on my lampshade that remained there until the day I left, despite my two-week stay, indicating the room was never properly cleaned. The room itself was very dusty, and the bathroom was also dirty, with brown marks on the floor behind the toilet and similar stains on the basin.The towels weren’t changed daily either. I accidentally left makeup on one of the hand towels, and it remained there for two days.I had stayed here before and had a much better experience. The previous room I stayed in was clean and well-maintained by the cleaning staff, so I didn’t have these issues. Unfortunately, this time, the mattress was so uncomfortable that it caused me back pain. It got to the point where I had to buy a mattress topper just to get a decent night’s sleep.Additionally, the car park is quite small, and one of the staff members repeatedly occupied two parking spaces, making it difficult for others to find a place to park.

Poor

We booked via booking, but when we arrived they said they were already fully booked and didn’t have a room available anymore.The only thing we got from the manager / boss was a “sorry one of my employees forgot to take it offline from booking, we just pay you the money back” and no other solution to us having nowhere to stay for the night.After pushing ourselves that we want them to arrange another place to stay for the same price, the manager didn’t like it but agreed. The employee in the hotel made some calls to try her best for us. She was the only one who really tried to help.

Very kind host, good location, near the airport. Parking possible. Good and big breakfast.

Uncomfortable beds, pillows...

7GemmaPosted on: 8-31-2024

The room views were nice. There was a pool even though we didn't use it. There were facilities to make our own food. Everything was in working condition. The bed was comfortable. Everything was fairly clean. Price was affordable.

There was no A/C remote in the room (you had to ask for it to the staff). It's OK for a 2-3 star but definitely does not have the facilities you'd expect a 4 star to have. Only one member of staff was doing everything, which feels cheap. They only accepted cash. The car park is small and at busy times you may not find a space.

7TalastasPosted on: 8-30-2024

Clean and staff was pleasant.

The AC wasn’t cooling and bed was hard or old.

8OgougePosted on: 8-29-2024

Late check-in service offered for 15€ due to our late flight arrival.

The A/C unit was not working in our room, but hopefully it was a chill night and we were able to sleep well with the patio door opened.

Nice staff. Great clean swimmingpool. Beautiful view.

Mold in the bathroom. The room seemed old and used, and was definitely in need of a touch-up. Several items on the wall was loose, e.g. the towel hanger in the bathroom that almost fell down during our stay and you couldn't shut the front door without locking the door. Couldn't find the wifi on either of our phones. The kitchen lacked a lot of basic items, like a chopping board and the knives were so unsharp that they were almost unusable. Unfortunately the list goes on-

6PowersPosted on: 7-8-2024

It was pretty close to the airport and they accommodated a late check in.

The parking was very difficult. The bathroom had blue cleaning solution all over it. The pillows were not very good.

A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

They deceived us. They advertise it with air conditioning, and it is installed, but, with excuses, THEY DO NOT HAVE IT WORKING, surely to save electricity. We protested and complained, but we slept roasted in a room that was an oven.

1TomasPosted on: 6-18-2024

Location was close to the airport

Very run down. Sliding door wouldn’t lock. Pillows and bed spread weren’t usable. No toilet paper provided

3DavidPosted on: 6-5-2024

-Kitchen has enough tools to cook, but no microwave -Every day cleaning rooms, and changing towels-Free parking if you rent a car ?️ -Excellent view, you can see even the planes landing at the airport

❗️Cockroaches, BIG Cockroaches ?The fridge just froze everything you have, because there is no door separating the fridge from the frozen. Also, there is a towel inside of the frozen. ❗️No WiFi in the rooms ❗️Some burned lamps, and other lamps flickering❗️No sound insulation ?❗️The window from the bathroom doesn’t close❗️The hotel WAS 4 stars, but a long time ago, not anymore for the current standards

Not recommended, old, dirty, no wifi, uncomfortable bed

Extremely uncomfortable bed (wrapped in plastic under the sheet, old string bed). You cannot lock the apartment from inside (dbl lock doesn't work), of course the key is on electronic plastic card but you could see if you force it you will open the door (signs of someone forcing the door visible). No kettle in the room, minimum of utensils and Cutlery. Balcony doors very hard to open making huge noise. Cleaner checked me in, barely speaking English. Dirty pool, broken sunbeds brown in the Corner (you can see everything from the balcony). NO WIFI IN THE ROOM, you need to go on corridor. I left after 1st night (and suppose to stay 5) to look for other accommodation. Bot worth the money, spoke to owner about any refund .... No English!! Would not recommend to anyone. This place is old, need refurbishment and badly managed.

Location. From the balcony I was observing sunrises, with closer look observed landing planes, desert islands on the horizon and after all I enjoyed taking jacuzzi-bath.

Black mildew in bath

The apartment/room was clean and big enough and had the perfect view of the sunrise over the sea. The lady at the reception was really nice.

The kitchen could have more equipment.
