It is an older hotel with dated rooms but very clean & rooms were big. Pool was big and its right across the street from the beach. I did not like that they charge for an umbrella & chair on their own portion of the beach.

This hotel is a gem and rght on the beach. The staff are wonderful, so helpful and charming. The view from the rooms are spectacular. The sunsets are magical. Ideal location too, very peaceful. The breakfast was great and it's only a short walk down the sea front to the restaurants and the town. I will definitely be going back to Hotel Tourist, perfect for our holiday.

Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff was very helpful and spoke good English. Breakfast was good. Decent amount of choice. Swimming pool was incredibly clean, clear and plenty long enough for lap swimming 25 - 30 meters long with lane lines. No need to use beach. Overall one of the best hotels we stayed at.

It was a simple hotel, quite dated, old carpets, old rooms, the poor area wasn’t super appealing and the breakfast was fine but also of pretty mediocre quality. You had to pay for pool towels, and beach chairs —- which for the price of the hotel during this period seemed excessive. It is a budget hotel charging pretty steep rates for this time of the year (€160 per night). Although we had a pleasant stay it really seemed excessively priced for what it was, with rooms and linens in dire need of an upgrade.

Good location, within walking distance to town, shopping, and restaurants. Lovely view of the water, and good breakfast. The pool was good with lots of sunny areas to relax. The room was just ok - it took almost all day for housekeeping to come refresh the room, and it wasn't in the cleanest condition.
