Pre-cruise, we stayed in this hotel for 3 days based on traveler's reviews and we were not disappointed. The property was very clean in all areas, the breakfast was the best I've had in Europe, staff was very helpful, good location for train access to embarking port for our Wind Surf cruise. Our travel companion with health issue was resolved in short order, thanks to assistance by front desk staff. We went to hospital ER for treatment, environment in the hospital was little chaotic, since its a socialized system, but even with little language difficulty, he was treated quickly. Most amazing, he was only asked for his DOB, place of residence and place of birth. In our system we would have filled out multi page pre- treatment questions. Best of all, he paid $9 for prescription, but not a dime more. Had it been here is U.S. , I doubt he would have gotten out for less than $1500. Although he had to visit a specialist later, at his request, treatment was no different and was charged $150. There were some negative comments about the location of this hotel, but I found everything I needed in waking distance. Perhaps they were talking about backside of Terimini station which looked little seedy, but we walked thru there, when we got lost. I would return to this hotel without hesitation anytime. Also, jump on and off tour bus leaves from Terimini, best deal in town, if you have limited amount of time.
