Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers huge and very comfy rooms with a balcony overlooking the garden, a definite plus, although they can get too warm at night. The service was mostly friendly, with an amazing staff, but some encounters were marred by rudeness when questioned about additional charges. Dining was a mixed experience, from wonderful food in the restaurant to disappointing taste and non-functional air conditioning. The facilities were generally good.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spotlessly clean with a comfortable bed, but the room temperature was a bit too hot despite efforts to adjust it. The service from the hotel guests was very polite and helpful, which made my weekend stay enjoyable. The location was convenient, being fairly equal distance between the town center and the beachfront. The dining experience had a good selection, but the price seemed a bit high for what was offered.
The hotel offers clean and spotlessly small rooms that lack coffee and tea making facilities. Parking comes at an additional cost. The service from receptionists to waiters is incredibly welcoming. The location is central and ideal, only a ten-minute walk to the seafront and pier. Dining options are satisfactory with plenty of choices, and the staff is friendly. Overall, good value for money.
