When I booked I requested a ground floor room. A walk in shower not over a bath and a quiet room. We were offered a room across the road from the main hotel. It was basic but very comfortable. Nice and quiet away from all the celebrations of the World Cup. I would definitely stay there again. Within walking distance of the beach and all other amenities. Staff were fantastic and would definitely recommend.

Cute spot with friendly staff. Rooms are small yet well designed. Like that there’s a restaurant on property and easy parking on the street. One thing that was challenging is that there seems to not be any noise insulation, you can hear noise in the hallway and there was a door that sounded like it was being slammed in the afternoon and morning. Thankfully things quieted down at night, so it didn’t affect our sleep, but something to note if you are sensitive to this.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff are lovely, and the location is manageable if walking is your primary mode of transportation. The convenience of having a surf school in the basement is a huge plus. The only things that stood out negatively were the lack of room cleaning (they claim to change the sheets every 2-3 days, yet they never did during my week-long stay). At times it feels like they put a lot of commonly expected services behind a paywall (pay x to be able to use the gym, pay x to get fresh sheets, etc.)
