We loved this hotel! The room was clean and spacious with a nice comfortable bed. Being on the fifth floor, we were very handy for the roof terrace. Breakfast and meals were plentiful and high quality. All staff were pleasant and very helpful. This hotel was aLao ideally situated for us too, right in the heart of everything and handy for the old town and all its shops and restaurants or equally handy for the beach! We will be booking to stay here again!

Best part of the stay was Paula, she welcomed us with a smile and took care of everything. Highly recommend if you are driving, use the hotel parking. The rooms are very comfortable and location is excellent. Old town is literally few mins aways and so is the beach. Great choices of restaurants within walking distance.
