Nice small hotel with polite...

Liked: The staff, the location, the facilities. Felix was great and very helpful and Dina the cleaning lady also very polite. There was a sad incident during our stay. There was a leakage in the bathroom and we were asked politely if the staff could fix it. When we return to our room something came out of the bathroom. Probably it was a quite big insect. I could not catch it and I phoned the reception. They immediately changed our room and refund the specific day. They were very polite. So due to the staff behavior and their immediate actions we were OK. A little upset but OK in general. Apart of that (which can happen in a leakage fix) everything else was very satisfied.
Disliked: The property was OK. However the hotel cannot be considered as a 5 star. It is a good 4 star hotel. In order to become a 5 star it must redecorate some of the facilities, improve the breakfast (only in terms of omelets, scrambled eggs etc) and fix some damages in bathrooms and in furnitures.
