Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had helpful staff and a decent breakfast, but the room was quite disappointing. While I enjoyed the sea view from the balcony, the room itself felt dark and cramped. The location was convenient for exploring, but the overall experience was marred by issues with room access and bathroom size.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the staff were helpful and the breakfast exceeded my expectations, the room left much to be desired, feeling dark and cramped. The location by the sea was nice, but accessibility issues with the locks were frustrating.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were friendly and the views were stunning, the room was disappointing and cramped. The breakfast provided a good variety, but it wasn't enough to balance out the issues I faced with the accommodation. Overall, not the best stay for me, and I wouldn't rush back.
