"Lovely hotel in a great location a couple of minutes walk from the Old Town bars and restaurants. Great view over the beach which was a few minutes walk away. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a quiet place to relax whilst being very close to the night life if you want it."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel and would definitely return. The location is excellent for exploring the Old Town, although there are quite a lot of steps up and down around the hotel, so guests with mobility issues may find this challenging. The hotel does offer a shuttle service to the Old Town until 5:30pm, and taxis are very reasonably priced, so getting around wasn’t an issue for us. Our room was very clean, with fresh towels changed daily, and the shower was excellent. The only real downside was the availability of sun loungers. There didn’t seem to be enough for the number of guests, and some were broken, which was a little disappointing. Overall, though, we had an excellent time. The hotel, location and cleanliness were all great, and we would happily return."

"Room was clean, staff was very nice. Breakfast was adequate. Good location. Unfortunately- the check in desk closed every day at 8pm so there was no staff on site after that time for amenities or other issues. Otherwise we had a great stay"
