This hotel was amazing! The staff were knowledgeable of the town, welcoming and assisted us with our luggage all the way to our room. They gave us a welcome drink and it was delicious. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and came with robes and slippers. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone.

My room had a side view – meaning that I could see book the shopping center next-door and the sea the vi...

The hot...

Due to its ground floor location, the noise from the hotel sta...

During breakfast, very attentive and they had a reasonable selection (yogurt, hot items, coffees, standard for a hotel) Cons is that the ...
