Casa Alice

The view is spectacular, and the balcony is a good size. Beyond that, the people side of things was below average. If you can choose somewhere else, I would. The room and bathroom are both spacious, and there's air conditioning. Getting luggage upstairs is another matter: there’s no lift, and even the lowest floor means climbing 20 steps with a turn. With a 23kg suitcase, that's a struggle. There’s no mirror in the room, just a small one in the bathroom that's really only useful for your face. The room has no hooks or other place to hang things, so I ended up using the TV set for my dresses. Mine are very long, some even cover the knees, apparently too long for the wardrobe. The TV also can't be angled to see properly from the bed. There are no bathroom hooks either, and the narrow little ladder is the only place to dry wet towels. No holder for the toilet paper, which sits on a shelf behind you and is easy to knock things off while reaching for it. The shower has no shelf, so shampoo and conditioner have to go on the floor. That's manageable, but not for my washcloth. There's no safe in the room. The balcony overlooks a nice view, but the backs of air conditioners are out there too. Instead of waves, you hear a motor. Turning off our own unit didn't fix it because there were two units, and I couldn't tell whose was running. The nice woman at reception only speaks French. Come on, she's the receptionist!
