Après plusieurs discutions telephoniques avec le gérant pour protester car il ne voulait pas nous rembourser , on a obtenu 20% de reduction sur 4 nuits ... notre sejour a été gaché car impossible d ouvrir le seul rideau de la chambre qui donnait sur l'entrée des autres chambres ... sans compter le bruit des gens montant et descendant l'escalier de bois tard le soir ou tot le matin ... si vous reservez dans cet hotel de 5 chambres fuyez les 2 du rdc et ne faites surtout pas confiance au gerant .En plus il y a moins cher et beaucoup mieux a La canée comme la suite de notre voyage nous l'a montré ... ##### HUGUETTE Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cassandra 19 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a beautiful and well situated hotel at a very affordable rate.
