    Apart from a young gentleman handing us the key, our contact was through Whattsapp which was ok. The lady booked a river cruise for us at the last moment, and it was outstanding. For a budget hotel, it was a good deal and I would recommend it. Location was good too.

    AeCotel, it is in a brilliant location, very close to the seafront and shopping centre. We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were super helpful and let us store our luggage after checkout before we went to the airport. The room was very clean, with a comfortable bed. Would Def recommend this place to stay, great value 😃

    It's a cozy place to stay with family. The location is ideal. It's a quiet place to stay. Everything is complete with mineral waters, towels, soaps, combs & dental kits. They even provide a cute snack & drinks corner, you can pay with cash or QR scan. The house is very clean and smells nice. We will definitely come back again in the future. ⭐
