Great Position

Brilliantly positioned hotel with all amenities and the beach area within a short walk. It was lovely and quiet. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was large. Shower not very powerful. Within 15min walk from the bus and train station virtually in a straight line down to the hotel so you can't get lost.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were fantastic at reception and the bar. Our room had no air conditioning, the bed mattress needs replacing and there was dirt and dust along the wall. The refrigerator did not work and we lost valuable food as a result.

Staff denied our early request for a queen bed and gave us inferior, small room with rooftop slope so staff could favor travel group reservations for one night in spite of our 3 night booking.

Zimmer war sehr sauber (bis auf das Taschentuch der Vorgänger unterm Nachttisch) Badezimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Bett war unserer Meinung nach zu durchgelegen. Das Zimmer verfügte über keine Klima und der Ventilator war verstaubt. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral und man kann alles fußläufig erreichen. Das Personal ist extrem freundlich. Parkplätze am Hotel (Seitenstreifen der Straße) waren für 12 Euro die Nacht zahlbar. Leider war unser Auto danach total voller Vogelkot. Wir würden dieses Hotel tatsächlich nochmal besuchen (nur nicht bei zu hohen Temperaturen)

Hotel ist definitiv zu empfehlen. Wir sind jetzt das zweite mal dort gewesen. Beim ersten Besuch hatten wir ein besser ausgestattetes Zimmer gehabt. Die Zimmer die zur Hauptstraße schauen, sind moderner bzw. neuer von der Ausstattung her und vor allem das Bad in diesen Zimmern ist top mit Duschkabine. Die Zimmer die hinten zum Garten liegen sind na h unserer Meinung definitiv Renovierungs Bedürftig.
