El hotel está en consonancia con la categoría, un poco anticuado, pero no mas que los que hay en la zona. La habitación que estuvimos era bastante grande, limpia y el colchón era confortable donde pudimos descansar plácidamente y sin ruidos. El desayuno es básico pero suficiente y me sorprendió que el zumo de naranja era natural. En líneas generales esta bien situado, limpio, confortable y personal agradable.

Staying in Geres

This was a great time of year to go to this hotel. There was almost no one at the hotel. The room needs better ventilation. The front desk person was ill and not able to speak English too well so there wasn't too much in the way of orientation. The breakfast could be strengthened with better coffee.
