I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room I booked in advance and paid for had a fantastic view of the sea from the balcony and was very comfortable with good lighting. The bed was especially cozy. However, the room temperature was not cool enough which was a minor downside.
The hotel room was much smaller and more claustrophobic than the pictures had shown, but it was extremely comfortable, especially the bed, and well-appointed with good lighting and a balcony offering a sea view. However, the room was not cool at all.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a great location near the seaside. However, the rooms have not been renovated for a long time, retaining a vintage feel with old wooden windows that can be challenging to handle.
