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 gerĂ€umig. Netter Innenhof. Freundliches Personal. FrĂŒhstĂŒck: nicht angenehm, der Raum ist nicht fĂŒr die vielen GĂ€ste ausgelegt. Wenn man kommt, findet man nur dreckige Tische vor, ĂŒberall Verbotsschilder, was man nicht darf, aber niemand bemĂŒht sich, neuen GĂ€sten einen sauberen Tisch zuzuweisen, man kommt sich nicht wie Gast sondern wie ein Bittsteller vor.

Etwas spartanisch eingerichtet

Das Personal ist Ă€usserst nett: (RĂ©ception, FrĂŒhstĂŒcksservice, Zimmerpersonal). Die Einrichtung ist etwas lieblos und spartanisch. Kein KĂŒhlschrank im Zimmer. Die VorhĂ€nge kann man nicht genĂŒgend öffnen und die Dusche ist unpraktisch, so dass viel Wasser neben die Dusche auf den Fussboden spritzt. Preis- / LeistungsverhĂ€ltnis okay.

Det allra bĂ€sta var den vĂ€nliga och alltid hjĂ€lpsamma personalen. Frukost var fin. Bra AC som var mkt viktigt. Rummet med balkong och skön sĂ€ng var rymligt och trevligt. NĂ„gra minuter till centrum och stranden. Skönt att vara lite inne i stan dĂ€r vanliga mĂ€nniskor bodde. Tycker mer om dem Ă€n oss turister 😊 Wi-Fi fungerade utmĂ€rkt pĂ„ rummet. Inga bekymmer. Hotellets atmosfĂ€r var underbar pĂ„ grund av den kloka o snĂ€lla hotell chefen och den fina personalen. Jag var dĂ€r i 26 nĂ€tter och kommer sĂ€kert tillbaka
