I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and tidy, and it had a lovely patio for sitting out. However, the service left a bit to be desired, especially when I encountered a health issue and needed to cancel a night. The location was fantastic, right in the middle of everything, but I felt the dining options were a little limited.

My stay at this hotel was overall quite enjoyable. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the beach, and the room I chose was spacious and comfortable with access to a lovely balcony. However, I did encounter some hurdles with the service; while some staff were accommodating, others were less than helpful when I faced an unfortunate situation that prevented me from staying the full duration. Dining was a highlight, especially with the breakfast offerings that were top-notch for the price.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the location is excellent, just a stone's throw from the beach and the old town, making it super convenient for exploring. The staff were friendly and provided helpful guidance on local spots. However, the rooms were surprisingly small, even after upgrading, and the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, it's a decent choice, but there's definitely room for improvement.

The room was clean, but quite small, and didn't quite match what I expected from the photos. I had upgraded to a standard size, but even then, I couldn't fully open the bathroom door because it bumped into the armchair.

I had a nice stay at the hotel, which is in a great location near the beach and main shopping streets. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, I faced some issues with the service regarding my reservation that left a bit of a sour note. Overall, it's a good value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement in certain areas.

The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by shops. It felt well away from the busyness of the seafront, yet close enough to enjoy it.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with clean and comfortable accommodations and a very friendly staff. The location was perfect for exploring the area, but I did find the dining options a bit lacking in variety. Overall, it's a great value for budget travelers, even if the rooms were on the small side.
