"Even though it is not located in the heart of the city, it's quite close to..."
Pros: Even though it is not located in the heart of the city, it's quite close to it (about 10 min taxi ride, 7 euros or so, or you can easily get there by metro). proximity to the beach was a big plus (10 min. walk). 2 blocks away from the hotel there is a lovely avenue with lots of coffee shops, restaurants, supermarket and gelato shops, which was great.
Cons: We are a family of 4, and we got the family room. room was tiny. we barely had enough space to walk around the beds. since there was barely any closet space, we didn't unpack our suitcases.

"The staff were extremely helpful"
Pros: The staff were extremely helpful. we had children with us and they gave us plenty of directions, options and ideas of what to do with them. the staff were on hand for last minute requests, ordering taxis etc so nothing was too much and that was hugely appreciated by us. also the fact that there is a supermarket at the end of the road - huge plus for anyone who gets munchies, the morning breakfast, huge huge selection and keeps you going all day and lastly the beach 10min walk away - fab!

"It was a very nice hotel"
Pros: It was a very nice hotel. our family loved to stay there. however, the front desk people should be more accurate on their knowledge. for example, we took the bus tour by buying a discount coupon from the front desk and we were informed that we would be able to pay the bus fees on the bus suing our credit card. however, once we got to the bus, we found they do not accept the credit card. thus, we had to spend a lot of time to find a bank to exchange our u.s. dollars. in addition, those front desk people should be more polite in dealing with customers. it was wonderful to provide the very nice breakfast and we were surprised how fresh and variety of choices. however, some items ran out but the staff person could not fill them in time. overall, we are thoroughly impressed with the looks, cleanness, and modern facility of the hotel.
