A Decent Hotel for a Short Stay

plentiful sunbeds good-looking design overpriced taxi lacking soundproofing

The breakfast offered a satisfactory start to the day. I found it easy to get what I needed. The hotel features a good-looking design. I also liked the plentiful sunbeds available .

The hotel's private taxi service was overpriced. It cost 25 euros to the airport, I believe it should have been 15 euros. My room did not have soundproofing. I could hear a lot of outside noise.

the pool area was acceptable with sufficient sunbeds available.

The breakfast quality was poor. The coffee tasted salty. our double room consisted of two single beds pushed together, uncomfortable. i also found that the bathroom door handle was broken, and the lock did not work.
