"We booked 2 days before, they did not know we were coming. Rooms was very dirty, they said they do not clean every day if we do not ask, not clean towels and they don not give new, you have to pay to se TV, and the internet was very slow, all this is stated as free on the booking page. We booked with breakfast, but next morning at 7.30 there were no staff to serve breakfast. The rooms are falling apart and no ones care. Did we at least get something back for the missing breakfast, no not at...

Hotel Casamara

Hotel Casamara

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean and spacious room. Helpful and kind staff. Location is perfect, in the middle of the city, not far from the bus stop and train station. Generous breakfast in the morning. This is an old hotel, that has kept its charm and looks. But there are some downsides to it: the shower in my room was very weak. I don’t know if there is a link to it, but the wifi was also very slow. The pool area is really nice but it could be looked after better."
