i can't say i was thrilled with diego at reception. he had a knack for being rude during each encounter. also, rooms numbered 01 or 02 include a needless extra door. it was difficult moving luggage through it and any neighbor activity created noise. the small swimming pool looked rather unclean, i would say even dirty.

strange layoutfrosted glass
the room layout was not ideal (i guess someone thought it was a good idea). there was minimal space around the bed. also, the lack of a proper bathroom door was a bit strange, as the door to the toilet was frosted glass and did not fully close. i could practically see into the shower from the toilet, talk about awkward!

andrea at reception, elena during breakfast, and diego at the reception desk all provided really good courtesy. all the rooftop staff members were helpful. the rooms were very clean, i must say, and the location was perfect for exploring.
the swimming pool is definitely more suited for children than adults. it's more of a kids' size pool, to be honest.
