The room was beautiful. Everything was just perfect, comfy bed, soft towels, great drinks facility, and a lovely bath. ALL was spotlessly clean, i noticed. The sea view was a lovely bonus (i really liked it!). The staff were friendly.

The breakfast was good but SOME juice and a bit more choice would be welcome.

nice stay close to everything

great location easy access good breakfast tricky shower bold decor early noise

the location was amazing i tell you. it was a very short walk to the train station, super convenient. the town centre was also within easy reach, so i could easily explore the area! the breakfast was good, i ate all of it.

i found the shower a bit tricky. it was either really hot or really cold, no in-between i am telling you. i think the room decor was a little too much, maybe a bit too bold for my taste. also, i noticed they collected empty bottles early in the morning, it disturbed my sleep!
