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.

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!

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.

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.

Hotellin sijainti loistava. Aivan pÀÀkadun lÀheisyydessÀ ei kuitenkaan turhaa hÀlyÀ, joten silti rauhallinen. SisÀÀn ja uloskirjautuminen nopea. Aamiainen suppea mutta hyvÀ. Vihanneksia ja hedelmiÀ kaipasin. Suihkun paineet heitteli ja lavuari ei vetÀnyt kunnolla olivat suurimmat puutteet.

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
