Hotel San Valentino

3/5

Old style rooms and furniture, looks interesting. Poor noise insulation. Curtains let significant light in. The furniture is inefficiently placed in the room, so the space is broken up into small not very useful nooks. For example, the long axis of the bed is aligned with the short axis of the room – it should be aligned with the long axis. Room ceiling about 3 metres high, lower in the bathroom. The ceiling lamp is a plus – most hotels don’t have one. The joint bathroom-toilet is average size, so could not have been separated into two rooms, which would have made it more practical. The shower stall is tiny, about 60cm by 60cm, so the elbows are hitting the walls when washing. The accordion screen around the shower stall does not move very well, so is annoying to close. The ventilation in the bathroom is noisy, but inefficient. The water pressure is strong, which is good. The toilet does not flush properly despite the large quantity of pressurised water used in it - probably some design flaw. Good thick toilet paper. The air conditioning works very well – the room can be made quite cold. There is no desk, only a chest of drawers with a lid that can be folded out to a very small table. There is no light above this table – funnily enough, the bathroom is very well lit, much better than the desk area in the room. The table lamp is weak and there is only one power outlet next to the table – either plug in the lamp, the TV or your laptop, but not the other two. Overall the room seems to have only two power outlets. The bathroom has a third. Impractical British-style tap knobs: separate for hot and cold water. At least there is a single tap and also the shower’s water temperature can be regulated with a standard lever. Very short tap - the water comes out close to the back wall of the sink. The sauna and steam room on floor „-2” have space for 4 people each and are working, though somewhat worn and looking dirty. There are many massage rooms and two pools about 4m by 4m in dimensions on floor „-2”. The sauna, steam room and thermal pools and swimming pool are only open 7:30-19. The outdoor pool is a small children’s pool, not a lap swimming one. It is very warm. It is a 10-minute walk to the beach from the parking lot at the back of the hotel. Wide selection of desserts at breakfast, but the other food is limited. Large breakfast area with plenty of seating, but not much space to move between tables, and there are some traffic jams at the buffet.
