Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great central location, perfect for exploring the vibrant town and is just off the sea shore. The rooms feel like a safe refuge, with the downside of noise from the nearby nightclub. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The dining experience, inclusive of vegetarian options, was satisfying, and the homemade biscuits were a nice touch.
The hotel was a mixed experience for us. The rooms were spotless, warm, and very comfortable, meeting our expectations. However, our parents had a negative experience with their room being excessively hot, leading to sleepless nights. The service was welcoming and well-organized, except for a rude encounter with my wife. The location was fantastic, right near various dining options and the beach, although it was quite cold at times. The dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of options, despite some shortcomings in service. The hotel had great facilities, enhancing our stay overall.
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the temperature control in the room was a bit tricky, and the view from my room was not the best. The breakfast was nice, but there could have been more variety. The location was perfect for my needs, being close to restaurants and the beach.
