Great location on the sea front. We found it easy to park close to the hotel on the sea front road, although a parking charge of 1 euro per hour applies. The room we stayed in was spacious, well equipped and very clean. All the staff were helpful and welcoming. Breakfast is served at the hotel but comprises a choice from the a la carte menu. Unless you only eat a small breakfast we found was is best value to pay in advance (12 euros).

First of all the PROS: Location-you could not ask for a better location for the apartment. Right in the middle of Old Town with very easy access to everything. The CONS: The stairs-winding staircase that gets kind of narrow at the top so watch your step. The interior-while everything was working as far as we could tell, the furnishings seemed a bit on the cheaper side and/poor construction in places. The exterior- you are warned about the corridor in the description and it didn’t disappoint, but we never felt unsafe. Would I stay here again? Yes because location is the key.

Location was ok in the middle of the beach area. Carpet was so dirty looking. Not very updated. Room was nice and comfortable bed, but Room 108 was terrible. Staff working and banging things until after 1:00 am. No lift for seniors to get their bags up several flights of stairs.
