We had a junior suite which had a large balcony and a fantastic panaramic view of the harbour. On arrival we were welcomed and checked in speedily and found our room beautifully presented. Breakfast and eating area very good with lots of choices. Very central to all that happens in P D and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Property was very clean, good location, attentive staff. We borrowed a towel for the hot springs and were told that it would be 2 euro, but were charged 6 when leaving. Apparently it was per day, even when not having it washed in between. The charge structure could have been clearer. Also, the breakfast could use improvement. The eggs (scrambled and omelet) aren’t seasoned at all. Even just some salt would help. The avocado toast was just bad. I wouldn’t even recognize it as avocado if I didn’t know already. Otherwise, everything was okay.

The hotel location is perfect - underground parking across the street for a reasonable price and walkable to all of the marina area and the many stores and restaurants in the area. The staff was second to none!!! Try for a room with a view as there is no outside amenity area. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of choice plus an la carte menu.
