Room was clean and comfortable. Location excellent, could walk into the town and only metres from the beach. Reception was closed at all times, but checkin worked fine just collecting an envelope outside the office. Slightly disappointed by the soundproofing from above when guest was walking around late at night, but that's a bit luck of the draw. Big bathroom, good shower. Fridge had a good freezer, and mugs/bowls/plates/cutlery was supplied. Plenty of table space and 4 chairs inside plus 2 chairs outside. Nice little patio outside. Wifi worked fine. Price failry high for the size of room but it was a long weekend in summertime.

Good clean and secure accommodations. Very comfortable bed. Basic furnishings but suitable for our one night stay. Monogrammed towels and bedding were a nice touch. Room had a nice shower. I'm not a fan of contactless check in and out and despite it being 3:30 pm when we checked in, the office was locked up and we had to rely on the instructions provided with our room card in order to gain access. Went around a couple times before we finally found our room on the upstairs floor.
