The staff were so lovely and welcoming, helped with anything we needed and very accommodating- can’t recommend this hotel enough! The hotel is beautiful and the complimentary breakfast has a wide variety to cater to all needs. The beach is a few minute walk away which is super convenient, as well as the port for any boat excursions etc.

Charming

Very pleasant stay in a great location. It’s not a modern hotel but has its own charm. Large apartment and comfortable and very clean. Be aware that the parking is small and limited to 4 cars. Car can be easily scraped by the protruding step. A. Nice touch is the raki offering at reception. As many shots as you want !

Greit hotell, litt liten balkong men greit for en person. Balkongen dårlig for opphold da den var vendt ut mot gata, ingen utsikt. Fine romslige rom og fint med et lite basseng på taket. Noe trangt der da det bare var 4 senger samt 5-6 stoler til rådighet. Fin beliggenhet i forhold til Strand og restauranter. Kan anbefales.

Uns hat die Lage sehr gut gefallen, weil wir die Nähe zur Innenstadt hatten und gleichzeitig zum Strand. Das Bett war hervorragend. In der Küche gibt es zwei kleine Kochfelder,aber nur sehr große Töpfe. In der Superior Suite hatten wir drei Balkone! Die Angestellten waren alle ausgesprochen freundlich.

Buon hotel, centrale e pulito con qualche pecca

Camera spaziosa e ben arredata, completa di tutto ma con un bagno piccolo. Mi aspettavo un pò di più dalla colazione (nemmeno un caffè espresso o un cappuccino). Peccato per i lavori in atto nella struttura adiacente (sono abbastanza rumorosi)
