Just average, it's rows of interconnected small rooms with little personality and a little worn, e.g. rust in the bathroom. We booked a "superior garden view room" but were placed in room 302 which had view of the beach/parking, I only realised the mistake after checkout, didn't help my overall underwhelmed impression of the hotel.

Don’t book this hotel if you don’t want to pay more. After the free cancellation period of your booking ends, they make their own rules. They send you a link for additional payment (I had to pay my son’s stay twice). If you don’t pay, they don’t give you the keys and you can’t cancel your stay with Expedia anymore. Delphine is irreducible and thinks it’s right. The case is currently with Visa to process my refund.

Hôtellerie satisfaisante, chambre propre et bien équipée en ce qui concerne la restauration le buffet des petits déjeuners propose un large choix malgré sont prix élevé. Le restaurant n'est assurément pas en adéquation avec un sejour prolongé car très peu de choix dans l'ensemble des gammes de produits ainsi que de qualité. C'est bien dommage car le site mérite beaucoup mieux.

Schoonmaak kan beter naar ons idee werden de stoelen en krukjes niet van zijn plaats gehaald, tevens de prullenbak niet altijd geleegd. Niet zo belangrijk maar wat wel op viel in vergelijking met andere accommodatie. Je nachtgoed werd zo op je bed gesmeten ipv netjes opgevouwen.

Serviceniveau lavt

Vi synes morgenmaden var kedelig, ingen variation og alt for dyr. Vi ankom kl. 14.01 og gik i restauranten for at spise, men fik meget håndfast besked på, at de lukkede kl. 14. Efter en del argumentation fik vi dog et brændt med pølse og ost. På skiltet i værelset, som vi så senere, stod at restauranten først lukkede 14.30! Der stod også, at morgenmaden kostede € 15, selvom vi blev opkrævet 16 p.p.pr. Dag.
