Not aesthetically all that, but very clean and comfortable and very central to every where you’d want to go. The staff are the most amazing people I’ve come across. I had a casual chat with Kipsa( I hope I spelt it well ) and mentioned it was my birthday. He got the kitchen to make me a birthday cake which made my day and made me feel at home. Would 100% recommend

Great hotel for the price. Marble staircases and landings with good breakfast. Five mins to the beach and the restaurant strip. For good restaurant (shabby outside) out of hotel go right and first left. Then it’s on the left. Lots of other restaurants in area. Never had bad meal. Hotel will collect from airport (20 min ride) for 20 euro. Recommended.

Liked the location. The place is clean. Did not like dishonest hotel management charging twice for my room under the excuse of having a guest for about half hour. After complaining the next day, a refund was requested. Will never stay at this hotel again. Expedia should make note. The double room charge was fraudulent.

Very nice staff, and really really good location. I booked last minute (literally the day I landed) so there weren't many options left due to the holidays, but I am glad I chose this hotel! It's walkable to the beach and all the bars and restaurants. I always felt safe as a woman walking alone late at night. I would definitely recommend this place to friends!

Etwas abseits vom Strand gelegen, aber ruhig. Zimmer geräumig. Netter Innenhof. Freundliches Personal. Frühstück: nicht angenehm, der Raum ist nicht für die vielen Gäste ausgelegt. Wenn man kommt, findet man nur dreckige Tische vor, überall Verbotsschilder, was man nicht darf, aber niemand bemüht sich, neuen Gästen einen sauberen Tisch zuzuweisen, man kommt sich nicht wie Gast sondern wie ein Bittsteller vor.

Hotellet var trevligt, personalen var jättetrevlig. Den enda lilla nackdelen var väl egentligen att det inte fanns tillgängligt någon bra plats att sitta utomhus på.

Hotelli keskeisellä paikalla.

Hotellin sijainti loistava. Aivan pääkadun läheisyydessä ei kuitenkaan turhaa hälyä, joten silti rauhallinen. Sisään ja uloskirjautuminen nopea. Aamiainen suppea mutta hyvä. Vihanneksia ja hedelmiä kaipasin. Suihkun paineet heitteli ja lavuari ei vetänyt kunnolla olivat suurimmat puutteet.

Etwas spartanisch eingerichtet

Das Personal ist äusserst nett: (Réception, Frühstücksservice, Zimmerpersonal). Die Einrichtung ist etwas lieblos und spartanisch. Kein Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Die Vorhänge kann man nicht genügend öffnen und die Dusche ist unpraktisch, so dass viel Wasser neben die Dusche auf den Fussboden spritzt. Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis okay.
