My room had an espresso machine. The lilac decor created a cosy atmosphere; a short walk to the beach.

A superb stay!

friendly staff bus stop front desk

I found the staff friendly and respectful. There is a bus stop right outside, it made getting to and from the town center effortless. Iced and non-iced water was always available at the front desk. A simple detail I appreciated.

I think the shower products could have been replenished more often. I stayed for multiple nights and didn't get any new shower gel after the first day. This is something that could improve the stay.

Dining

The hotel offers a continental breakfast with multiple options, including pastries, cereals, and fruit. I found the area well-stocked and maintained. Coffee was available, it was a nice touch to start my day.

Rooms

My room was clean and quite spacious, offering enough room to relax and unwind after a day exploring. The bed was very comfortable.. I slept well. The room also featured windows that could open fully, so fresh air was always available.

The staff was helpful. They addressed issues seriously. the beds provided excellent sleep as they were very comfortable. sheets and towels were a pristine white. the hotel is very close to the city center with buses stopping right outside (ideal for mobility-impaired guests).

i noticed that the hotel was a bit noisy and creaky. i could hear other guests moving around, a slight disturbance.
