"Despite the fact that you had to do a lot of things online, the staff was very friendly and helpful! Really nice!. I only think that the wash basin in the single bed room is too small...you can't use the water from the tap properly to wash your face without spoiling water all around. The bed was good. As in all hotels, single bed rooms are very compact and small, alas..."
