Gare du Nord

I had previously stayed at the beautiful Giri Residence in the same town, and rebooked for a second visit some years later. My booking was cancelled and this alternative was offered to me, at a similar price. I decided to try it as it had the same owner, and the same price point from the same owner in the same town, would insinuaste a similar standard. Well, as they say, never assume. I was shocked at the difference. The entrance is a hole in the wall of a café, followed by a steep staircase. The room had a strange smell, there was a hole in the wall covered by a wonky patch of tapestry material, the room was freezing even with the air on hot/max, and the balcony which looked so pretty on the website was noisy due to a pump/air system and view of others’ property and rooms. It’s very deceptive. But the biggest shock is the value for money and the comparison to the Giri residence. They are incomparable. After spending 2 days at the stunning Montesol, to come here, expecting the Giri - genuine shock. It has its charm. The owner has a flair for interiors. But this is inaccurately marketed and priced - that is the problem. The property itself is not a problem - but what you’re sold and what you get are not the same. Also, please note that you do NOT get access to the Giri residence and its facilities, unless the Giri residence is open… The Giri is Elegant - 5 Star This is Shabby Chic - 3 Star I love the Giri and feel slightly heartbroken as I wanted to return, but given the experience and the feeling that we were misled, this has sadly put me off the whole franchise.

This is a renovated hotel with a new owner, very unpleasant. Hugely overpriced. It isn’t even an hotel. No reception, no staff. The keys were left inside the room. It isn’t even a bed and breakfast with no breakfast included nowhere to have it. The café Munro downstairs is a separate entity and not part of Gare du Nord. Basically zero facilities. The worst part, however, and they don’t tell you that, the entrance is a narrow, steep flight of stairs, two flights of stairs for the 2nd floor. No lift which you would expect at that price. We originally booked the Giri residence, more or less the same price but a completely different experience. Sadly it was cancelled. If it had been priced correctly for the type of accommodation it really is, with correct descriptions, we would have looked for somewhere else to stay after the Giri cancellation. I actually spoke to the owner. We were deceived

I had to leave here the moment I entered. Poor quality of everything, beds are horrible and manky, the toilet stinks, the shower is old and not clean of limescale. There were insects everywhere, I got bit 7 times in the space of 40 minutes. It's just a dingy room and the owner is rude, he think's he's someone special (I've got screenshots). I had to demand a refund, after spending 40 minutes wasting time talking to his unhelpful staff. The owner was then rude (maybe he took the feedback personally, but if your hotel is crap then it's crap?). He still hasn't provided a full refund, so I am complaining via *********** and will then be taking legal action. The pictures look great but... not in reality.

It took a while to get my head around it. There were a few things that needed tweaking but I don't want to be too critical post Covid. Putting that to one side this is a quirky place with is authentic, rustic and charming. It is NOT a hotel and in the end I got my head around it and am very grateful for the fact it wasn't! Our room was big with a huge balcony space and despite the quirky toilet / bathroom thing it was very much perfect for us. Some people wrote about a lack of breakfast options but I do not remember a breakfast ever being prepared with such care, love, attention to detail and not to mention great quality food. The team at breakfast were happy to adapt what they had and it was without doubt the best breakfast I have had whilst away from home. Really good communication and a great location. You WILL need a car but parking and driving is easy. Genuine people running a genuine place. We really enjoyed the place and when you have got your head around it, so will you. Thanks guys - keep going!

Hadden iets meer verwacht! Faciliteiten die op de website staan zijn er niet zoals restaurant cafe gezellige tuin dakterras ! Alle gesloten. Bij aankomst niemand aanwezig! Na telefonisch contact bleek de sleutel op de deur te staan! Weet niet of wij de de luxe kamer zo willen noemen. Ontbijt was prima! Elke dag een andere belegde toast. Helaas na 13.00 uur niemand meer aanwezig. Gelukkig supermarkt om de hoek ander heb je niets.In dorp. is weinig te beleven. Auto is een must. Wel goede uitvalsbasis om het noorden van Ibiza te verkennen. Personeel was vriendelijk, schoonmaak matig. In zes dagen geen schone lakens en handdoeken verschonen matig. Kortom je bent op je zelf aangewezen . De medewerken die wij aanspraken zei ja het is ook een b&b! Check your website of pas hem aan! Mensen hebben een ander verwachtingspatroon. Kortom prima voor paar dagen maar voor ons geen herhaling

Leuke bar en echt een leuke B&B met authentieke sfeer. De hippiemarkt op zondag is ook heel gezellig in het dorp. Parkeren ruim voldoende want een auto is wel een must hier. Al bij al niet zo heel duur vergleken met alle grote hotels op het eiland, prima in verhouding.

Samen met een vriendin een weekje naar Ibiza geweest. Op aanraden van kennissen bij Gare du Nord geboekt en wat een succes! Onwijs genoten van de rust in het noorden en de gezellige sfeer. We verbleven in een deluxe room aan de voorzijde van het hotel (ik geloof kamer 6) en het was top! Grote en mooie kamer, waar elke dag werd schoongemaakt. Ook werden we elke dag verrast met een heerlijk ontbijt dat elke dag verschilde. Mijn vriendin is allergisch voor amandelen en daar werd zorgvuldig mee omgegaan. Verder is het personeel heel vriendelijk en maken ze altijd een praatje. Zeker een aanrader om naartoe te gaan!

Io e mio figlio abbiamo trascorso 5 giorni in questo splendido b&b. Tutto è stato perfetto , colazioni sempre diverse e salutari, camera pulita e di design , e personale .. wow .. bravissimi ! Tutti quanti fantastici. La location era la migliore per quanto mi riguarda del nord di Ibiza . Speriamo do tornarci presto !

Wij kwamen vroeg aan en ons werd verteld dat we om 15;00 konden inchecken. We hebben dus onze spullen daar achtergelaten bij de bar omdat ze geen plek hadden waar je je bagage veilig kunt opbergen. Helaas konden we pas na 16:00 inchecken. Na 16:00 is de receptie en bar/restaurant gesloten en is er niemand meer aanwezig. Hiernaast was er geen airco en deden de lampen het niet bij aankomst. Samen met de autoverhuur was het teleurstellend en zeker het geld niet waard. Qua ontbijt had je geen keus maar wel kon je je allergieën doorgeven. Op de laatste dag hadden we een late vlucht en mochten we de bagage op de trap achterlaten op eigen risico. Andere kamers zagen er wel goed uit dus ons advies zou zijn om niet een standaard kamer te nemen en niet aan de straat kant. Wel waren de Spaanse medewerkers ontzettend gastvrij en aardig in tegenstelling tot de Nederlandse medewerkers. Locatie is top!
