arrived early hours of morning to be greeted by a none to friendly man, and shown to our room that could only be described as a dungeon.

We need not have worried, the staff at the Pelikan Apart are fantastic, very caring, and treat you like a family member. The rooms were very clean, and were cleaned everyday by lovely maids. The whole hotel was well managed, and... more
