Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Отдыхала в этой гостинице и осталась очень довольна. Прекрасное расположение — рядом музеи, туристические автобусы, продуктовые магазины, сувенирные лавки, базар, рестораны, а также удобный выход к морю. В номере было комфортно: работал кондиционер, чистые простыни создавали ощущение свежести, а горячая вода в комнате всегда была в наличии. Отдельно хочется отметить приветливый персонал — все вопросы решались быстро и с заботой. И, конечно, порадовал прекрасный завтрак: было вкусно и с хорошим выбором, чтобы начать день с хорошим настроением. I stayed at this hotel and was very pleased. The location is absolutely great—near museums, tourist buses, grocery stores, souvenir shops, the bazaar, and restaurants, and it’s also convenient to get to the sea. Inside the room I had everything needed: the air conditioner worked well, the sheets were clean and fresh, and there was hot water in the room whenever we needed it. The staff was also very friendly—every question was handled quickly and with care. And the breakfast was excellent. The airport transfer costs 50 euros, which is really convenient and not expensive for the service provided.

Negative: Курящее кафе внизу. И недостаточно котиков вокруг. Tobacco- smoking-cafe and not enough cats.

Summary: Благодарю, все очень понравилось! Love it, thank you!
