    It's really old. There is only one plug per room. The bathroom is weird. Everything is almost broken. They make us pay 50€ more at arrival (we didn't knew that when we made the reservation). They gave back us the money the next day.

    Staff were nice.

    The building is a bit old so some insects can appear, nothing to worry about considering the low price we have paid.

    The price out of the season was very interesting.

    The pictures don’t exactly match the reality of the room. The description for my room mentioned it included a kitchenette and unfortunately that was not the case.

    The property was clean and comfortable.

    The hotel looks like it has recently changed ownership. New paint, but cheap fixtures, no breakfast option or restaurant, no bathtub mat in a slippery tub and the odd bug...but a nice and welcoming staff and a ten minute walk to town.

    The patio outside the room doubles your usable space and is a great feature.

    After checking in, I noticed that I received a previous email from the property, saying that I need to call the property 30 minutes before arrival, and to pay an extra fee if I check in after 19:00. This information was not provided before the booking (which said that check-in is allowed until 21:00, and didn't mention the requirement to call them). Fortunately, we arrived just before 19:00, and someone was there to check us in.

    Great price (below 30 EUR for 2 people)!

    The furnishings of the room were quite old, the terrace and the furniture along seemed a little bit dirty. The room needed airing. In rooms there was no wi-fi, only on the groundfloor at the reception desk (maybe it is good for staying off-line a little bit ;))

    Room was quite spacious, with a terrace. Place is located in quiet neighbourhood.

    Our room was not at all like on the photos!!! We were so much longing for a bath, that is only why I booked the room, as the pictures clearly show the bath tub. However, once you get your keys handed over, you have a shower. So sad they promise something untrue.

    It was rather clean, good location.

    Room different from pictures on internet, outside door with a gap , shower not properly fitted, unable to shower, no bed side lamps, no kettle, no hair dryer. After complain they move us to another place and we had to pay an extra 121 Euros, because the booking was not refundable. On the other room, Bathroom door unable to close, no kettle, no toaster in the kitchen. Shower with the floor broken an the drain was blocked. I feel that we were scamed by the pictures and the reality. Everything old needed tlc and a deposit upfront. We will never gonna booked again at this place and you should verify better this place before put in on booking. The reality is different from the pictures.

    The way the staff tried to solve all the issues that we had
