"I only spent around 13 hours here as a stopover before the airport, which was about 15 mins taxi ride away. Would have happily stayed longer as it’s a comfy, quirky, and friendly place to stay. Staff friendly, onsite restaurant with tasty food. Clean fresh and comfy room with good shower."

10/10 Excellent
"The location is very good, closed to the beach and the city centre/highlights. The pool on the rooftop is small as a jacuzzi, but a nice area to sunbathe, getting lovely views. New sunbeds. Our room 310 room was very quiet, what I value most, spacious and spotless. The mattresses were very comfortable. We did not get the breakfast so I cannot give my opinion about that. I definitely would be back next time."
