In a quiet street yet walking distance from bars, restaurants and tourist attractions, I had a great stay at this boutique hotel. Big swimming pool and comfortable big room with high ceilings, and good amenities. The breakfast offers a delightful selection of locally sourced produce. @ballestrinaroundtheworld

Not a customer focused hotel. Nice enough facility. Bring cash, or pay in advance via Expedia. No credit card machine.

Facts from my last stay 1. No security 2. No cook hence no lunch and dinner options 3. One key per room for which permission has to be given from Manager for additional key 4. Breakfast is served individually on plates when there are few guests versus a buffet 5. Place is kept clean by cleaning staff. 6. Limited TV channels.

The booking was ok from Expedia , no problem there , however upon my check in . The manager said I have to pay cash for the stay , informing me that their credit card device was not working . I tried reverting to the online booking but it wasn’t allowing me . He even gave me his personal account in United States to transfer .then I had to give him a deposit of 100.00 per room when Expedia information said 32.00
Eventually since it was 5am I had to choice but to pay cash and be inconvenienced .
It simply couldn’t be done . As a result

Had a terrible check out expirience...it started when they made us pay double the deposit. Upon checkout, they told ua the remote was missing (wenever had one) and that it would be 40$. Then the desk called manager and told ilus it would be the full depoait (100$). I offered for them to check our bags they said if we couldnt find remote we had to pay. I asked to speak to manager at least 5 times the worker refused. Then she said if i would put in my bank information into HER phone , if they found the remote, they would reimburse us. Of course i did not put my personal information into someones phone. Literally the worst customer service ive had at a hotel. Please read the bad reviews and believe them.

Ontbijt was beperkt en werd niet bijgevuld. Geen bediening in ontbijtzaal. Er werd niets afgeruimd zodat tafels vol stonden met vaatwerk. Geen variatie in het ontbijt. Geen granen bij het ontbijt.

Avis très négatif :
Hôtel à fuir ! Dès notre arrivée, on nous annonce que leur machine à carte bancaire ne fonctionne pas, alors que c’était notre unique moyen de paiement. Ils exigent en plus une caution en espèces de 100 € sans prévenir. J’ai dû refaire une réservation et payer en ligne pour pouvoir rester.
Le pire arrive au check-out : ils ont gardé de l’argent de notre caution pour une chambre que nous n’avons jamais occupée ! C’est tout simplement du vol. Nous avons payé notre chambre, rendu la clé, laissé la chambre impeccable, et malgré ça, ils nous ont pris de l’argent sans raison valable.
Service malhonnête, aucune transparence, zéro professionnalisme. Je déconseille fortement cet hôtel, ils profitent des clients et retiennent l’argent de façon abusive.

À fuire
Avis négatif :
Nous avons réservé une chambre à l’hôtel Shivas en dernière minute. Une fois sur place, l’hôtesse nous informe que leur machine à carte bancaire est en panne or c’était notre unique moyen de paiement. En plus, ils exigeaient une caution en espèces de 100 €, ce qui n’était pas précisé avant.
Face à cette situation, j’explique que je suis obligé de refaire une réservation et de payer en ligne. L’hôtesse accepte et nous procédons ainsi. Jusque-là, ça semblait réglé.
Problème : la première réservation (faite en direct) était impossible à annuler alors que ce n’était absolument pas de notre faute si leur terminal ne fonctionnait pas.
Le lendemain, au moment du check-out, l’hôtel garde une partie de notre caution, sous prétexte de cette première réservation. Je ne comprends pas :
• Nous avons déjà payé pour la chambre réellement utilisée.
• La caution était censée couvrir d’éventuels dégâts, or nous avons rendu la chambre en parfait état.
• L’argent de la caution a été retenu pour une chambre pour laquelle nous n’avons jamais déposé de caution.
En résumé : opacité totale, mauvaise foi, et perte d’argent injustifiée. Ce genre de pratique est inacceptable pour un hôtel qui prétend être professionnel.

- gros point négatif : impossibilité de faire le règlement par CB (pas d'appareil) - pas d'information à ce sujet lors de la réservation sinon on aurait choisi un autre hôtel
- Manque d'information concernant les conditions
- employée d'accueil peu compréhensif; Ne sachant pas analyser une situation pour prendre une décision adaptée au client (doit toujours appeler le responsable de l'hôtel)
- le responsable de l'hôtel refuse de communiquer avec les clients pour régler un problème.
- bac à douche bouché (l'employé nous dit que c'est nous qui devons chercher à évacuer l'eau)
- ascenseur en panne
- on cherche toujours la 4e étoile
