Unfailingly polite and friendly staff. Would recommend the hotel were daily with maid service. Tea and coffee supplies in room appear ad hoc. Even budget hotels manage to keep supply on a daily basis. So a couple of minor carps, but overall a good hotel in a really good position with nearly all bases covered

You get what you pay for. Beware the Parking!

Served a purpose for us and we got what we paid for. Handy to the beach and restaurants. Disappointed with the parking situation as we booked it for that reason. Car park was full so had to park offsite for 25euro.

The hotel was just a few steps from the main beach and surrounded by restaurants and bars. The room itself was a decent size and had a small kitchen which was suitable for making snacks or small meals only.

The room has an unbearable smell of cigarette that makes me feel really bad at the point that I can not sleep, and I am feeling really bad. I talked to the receptionist right after the check in and he said that he can not do anything to help us, and the fault is of the prior guest that smoked and it’s not his problem It’s disgusting

Nice place to stay, friendly staff

Our stay was great, except for the parking. The hotel provides underground parking for very small cars. Very tight. The parking is the only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars. Excellent location in a walkable neighborhood close to the beach. Very quiet at night. Coffee and breakfast available every morning in the lobby area. Property was clean and comfortable. We had such a great trip. Would recommend this hotel.
