A hotel for no high demands *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

We had to spend in the hotel two nights, because our reserved hotel was overbooked. In the first room offered (2. Floor to foot, as the lift broken was) we are seen as a prison in us, only with the room and view of the sea only profits if you are far enough in scaffolding blocked balcony rejected. The room was unacceptable. It has been shown us a 'better' room. It was one floor higher (64 steps without lift) and had a view of the sea. The rest of the room was like the previous. The balcony door was open only with violence, but not more close. (Was fixed the next day) the bed had a width of 160 centimeter (for two people!) and only one bedside table (single room?) the hotel is located directly on the street and the noise was so pervasive, that we had two sleepless nights. Because the majority of the nationalities of the guests to close, it is a child-friendly to local hotel.
