Great value no matter how you slice it
Nice place. Great location. Friendly staff. My only beef is the dumb role about not allowing guests to bring food in. Use your overpriced minibar? Thanks but no thanks. Why ruin the otherwise great qualities of the hotel? Breakfast is good and the nice staff working their are super and sweet.

ce location, room and breakfast. Staff helpful
Staff very friendly, professional and helpful with a number of special requests. Nice breakfast and large room with sea view. Only complaints were the tiny shower and the daily wifi passwords that eventually stopped working.

The reception went out of their way to be helpful and were so pragmatic - for example, it made a huge difference being able to check in early.
Overall the location and quality of the hotel means it is great value for money.
