Great hotel in a good location right at the front overlooking the sea. Well placed as you’re only a short walk into the old town square or the Marina. Spotlessly clean and staff are very friendly. The views from the front facing rooms are fabulous. Not all rooms have a balcony so just check when booking. Nice little restaurants and bars close by.

The staff was very nice, the hotel is well situated in the city. Important to note that the kitchen is open until 2PM. the cons, the AC was leaking the last 4 days, it was loosing a lot of water while turned on and there were no room available to switch so we had to spend most of the the AC turned off, or to move our beds in the middle of the room to turn it on and not get our beds wet.

Liked: Cleanliness
A very basic property with no amenities and only provide 2 sachets of coffee, tea and sugar as a 'welcome gift' no further top ups provided, ended up buying my own. Obviously been spoilt in the hotels I use for work 3/4 times a week. Best of all had to pay 25 euros for the broken kettle. At least I didn't get charged for the glass I dropped. In fairness the place was clean but a few niggle points for me. It is located a short walk from the Old Town and is quiet.

Lovely quiet little hotel within easy walking distance of both the old town and the marina. Comfortable, rooms with a lovely balcony and sea view. Spotlessly clean and friendly helpful staff. Very highly recommended.
