Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a gem, offering excellent breakfast, very comfortable bed, and en-suite facilities. The rooms are cleaned daily with towel change, ensuring a cozy stay. However, the price could be more competitive, impacting the overall value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, with easy access to the beautiful beach and a variety of fantastic restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The only downside was the steep hill when walking down to town, but the proximity to everything made up for it. The breakfast was superb, and the included amenities made the stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel is situated up a steep hill leading from the promenade, offering a quiet location with a few good eateries nearby. The rooms are cleaned daily, with towel changes, and feature an excellent breakfast; however, they could use a bit more furniture. The service includes room service, housekeeping, laundry, and a welcome drink. The location is fit for walking up the steep hill and not too far from the seafront and town. Dining is included and of very high quality, with sweet cakes. The facilities are satisfying, catering to various needs.
