Great location, very short walk to the beach. Hotel was lovely, well furnished and clean. Staff could have been friendlier, and location-wise there weren't too many restaurants to choose from.

The hotel is located a short walk from the beach. It is a very comfortable hotel, and good value for money. There is a lovely walk along the seafront towards the city centre.

Room was ok, not many toiletries left for us in the room. Didnt eat at the hotel as there are plenty of placea to eat within a short distance.

Beautiful and well kept hotel. It’s equivalent to a high end hotel in Chicago or NY but a fraction of the cost. Beautiful area with plenty of walking paths and only a few meters to the beach.

Good quality hotel overall. Room was comfortable and clean, parking garage very convenient at 18 euros per night. Free on street parking is also available. There is no outside space to relax in, which would have been nice, considering the beach location. We found limited dining options in the immediate area, particularly on a festival day. The town was vibrant with lots of bars and restaurants but is a 30 minute walk. Beaches are lovely and we enjoyed walking along the promenade.
