Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with polite English-speaking staff. However, there were noise issues at night, affecting our sleep. The family room was spacious and cozy.
The hotel is in a perfect location, just a short walk to the main attractions like the Aquarium, market, and seafront promenade. The rooms are clean and equipped for a self-catering holiday, although they could use some refreshing. The service was a bit variable, with some very helpful staff members. The dining experience was not very interesting and somewhat overpriced. The location is great, close to everything you need for a fantastic stay.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The atmosphere in the rooms felt like a cozy cottage by the sea, and the location was superb. The added convenience of having access to payment washing machines with free powder, as well as irons and ironing boards, made my stay even more pleasant. The views from the rooms were truly breathtaking, although the single dryer machine not drying could be a slight inconvenience.
