We (two middle aged women) stayed one night to break a journey, so we weren't looking for shops. The hotel really worked for us in terms of vicinity to the station and the seafront, where we had a stroll. The room was very nice. Breakfast was lovely and generous for the price.

The hotel was a very good surprise. We had an apartment and a double room, both of which were very clean and spacious. We also tried the breakfast which was excellent and full of choices. Just one small observation for the staff: a few more smiles make the clients feel better ;)

Great Stop, Fab AC, Spacious Rooms!

I was so grateful to the staff for letting us check in so late due to a wildfire and the airport delaying our flight. He kept in touch over WhatsApp. The rooms are huge for Europe! We were very comfortable. AC in July was super cold! Great place if you’re just sight seeing for a few days and not in the room too much and in need of a pool etc. thank you Hotel Ligo!

Very clean, not enough staff

Hotel Ligo had a fun, colorful design. The room and lobby were very clean. Blackout blinds covered the windows at night. The bed was comfortable. However, the hotel needed more staff. When we arrived at breakfast, half the tables were covered by other guests' dirty dishes. The plates had run out. One of the coffee machines had no mugs. On the second day, the eggs were cold (not room temperature -- actually cold!). There was a long line at checkout because the front desk had just one worker. I would stay here again, but not at full price.

First time we stayed at HappyCulture hotel and were very impressed with hotel conditions, room and staff. To be picky the only down point was the small showerhead and space in the bath/shower. Would have been better to have just a bigger size shower.
