Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a great bed with a good view for 2 nights, but the sink in the bathroom is ridiculously tiny. The atmosphere is lovely; however, the value for money could be better.
This hotel offers a mixed experience with stunning views and tiny bathroom sinks. The rooms come with a fan and breakfast, providing a nice atmosphere overall. The service is good with attentive housekeeping. The location is convenient for exploring the city and enjoying the seaside, but lacks some amenities. The dining experience, while including hand-cut beef tartare, may not be to everyone's taste. The facilities are adequate, but some improvements could enhance the guest experience.
The hotel is ideally located in the town center, offering a great view from the room. The tiny sink in the bathroom was a bit impractical, but the bed was very comfortable. The hotel's restaurant provided a nice dinner experience, and the proximity to a noisy taxi rank could be a drawback at night.
