We (two middle aged women) stayed one night to break a journey, so we weren't looking for shops. The hotel really worked for us in terms of vicinity to the station and the seafront, where we had a stroll. The room was very nice. Breakfast was lovely and generous for the price.

First time we stayed at HappyCulture hotel and were very impressed with hotel conditions, room and staff. To be picky the only down point was the small showerhead and space in the bath/shower. Would have been better to have just a bigger size shower.

Great Stop, Fab AC, Spacious Rooms!

I was so grateful to the staff for letting us check in so late due to a wildfire and the airport delaying our flight. He kept in touch over WhatsApp. The rooms are huge for Europe! We were very comfortable. AC in July was super cold! Great place if you’re just sight seeing for a few days and not in the room too much and in need of a pool etc. thank you Hotel Ligo!
