In June 2026 a guest said the air conditioning never got below 80 degrees and that the standard rooms did not match the suite photos online. Older reviews, mostly 2017 to 2023, mention a dated bathroom, a weak breakfast, an uncomfortable bed, a missing money belt, valet parking at 20 euros, and a pet-fee dispute.
