"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."
