Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room was spacious with a king-size bed, but the noise isolation could be better as I heard street noises. The location was not ideal, being far from the seaside and lacking activities, but it's okay for a short stop. The service was exceptional, especially with my baby, and the staff's English and local knowledge were top-notch. Dining options were decent with the ability to arrange special requests. Facilities were good, though nothing extraordinary.
