Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers excellent rooms with extremely large beds and a lovely warm atmosphere, perfect for a comfortable stay. However, being stuck on the 4th floor under the eaves may feel dark and claustrophobic, especially when events are taking place in the room above. The location is great, close to the town center and right by the beach, providing easy access to coastal paths and the town center. The dining experience was pleasant, but some areas like the buffet style might need improvement. The facilities were overall good, with spacious rooms suitable for pets.
The hotel was lovely and comfortable, quiet as requested, and clean. The view was great for relaxation, albeit a bit tacky. The breakfast was perfect.
