There was loud reggae music blasting at night. The room is next to a karaoke type bar where people were screaming.
Random people can just see into your room and where very noisy,  I kept blinds closed.

We only stayed for 1 night, and as we had a late check in,we literally just slept there. We paid 10.50€ for breakfast each which was fine, buffet style, plenty of choice, good value for money. Only thing i didnt like was the balcony was tiny , not all were, and as it was 1 night it didnt matter.

Lovely staff, amazing view, but not a quiet room.

A good place, a cool staff, but very small rooms, and the most important : we hear everything! Any sound from the corridor and from other rooms. I love the sea view, the balcony is great, i love the place... but it is impossible to me to stay somewhere so noisy...the first night I couldn't sleep because of a guy in the room next to us talking on phone from 10pm to 1am+, next night it was TV sound from two rooms. I don't understand how it is possible to enjoy a stay in these conditions. I Had to move to another hotel asap.

2nd time we have stayed here. Staff are always so friendly and helpful which makes it a great place to stay. I do feel the rooms are a bit tired and could probably benefit for a freshen up. Other than that lovely place great location.

This hotel has some good things and bad things, good is the location and not noisy ( except one night with load birthday party lasting till midnight). But the rooms are not great and charging 3 euros a night for safe and it’s tiny not attached to a wall, when most don’t charge now. Also spent most of holiday with poor cold showers with low water pressure. Took 4 complaints to get someone to respond. They need to sort water problems and better customer service. Also standard of painting in rooms is poor and basic furniture.
