Situation excellent, if you like to walk around in the city´s narrow steets. The citadel, the port and the "Turismo", from which the bus trips start, is only in 10 minutes´ walk distance.

Because of the winter season we dit not try the swimming pool at all. The street and air port noises were not disturbing (5. floor)

The "continental breakast" was as promised - but during 14 days there was no variation - although the local breads and expecially the fresh cheese were really good. But no fruits or berries, and the cold cuts were always of the same sort, as well as the ready-cut, half soft and rather tasteless cheese.

The room had no safe, but the beds were good- not too soft - and separated, so you did not disturbe your spouse when turning etc. The bathroom (and the shower) were o.k., and the room cleaning was both blameless and -doing the beds - also amusing. The air conditioning worked well and warmed up the room rapidly, which was pleasant because of the very wet weather conditions.

But the lifts! They made -always when stopping operation- terrible noise, some kind of "mourning", which was very disturbing. Otherwise they worked without any difficulties.

And then the local (or common southern European, espacially Balkan?) habit to smoke all the time and everywhere without any restrictions, made in one late evening/night a frightening situation. Some stonehead went in the lift with his burning cigarrette- fireing off the brand alarm! This happened 5 times during the Saturday late evening/night. And the hotel reception personnel was not at all capable to handle the situation. Otherwise it had not happneded repateadly.A brand alarm in a hotel is really a severe situation. This kind of false alarms are not acceptable with only "we are sorry, but there were very much (local) people in the hall last night and someone went in the lift.." Havn´t we not read enough of severe hotel fires?? As a Scandinavian I am only astonished of the by us as an old-fashioned and reprehensible habit to smoke in public areas.

In the neighbourhood are at least tree little restaurants (one is "next door") - offering also local dishes. They are in favor of the local people,and therefore we also visited them all. We can recommend them.
