Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers marvelous views and a nice bathroom in the rooms but could benefit from updated decor. The service, while efficient, lacks perks like room service or a welcome drink. The location is excellent right along the seafront, close to the main promenade and town center. The dining experience serves delightful European cuisine. The facilities are standard without any standout features but are worth the price paid.
This hotel offers stunning views but could benefit from updating its decor. The rooms come with nice bathrooms, but some modernization would enhance the experience. The service is excellent, with top-notch room service, dry cleaning, laundry, and a delightful welcome drink. The location is unbeatable, situated right on the seafront and just a short stroll from the main area. The dining experience is satisfactory with tasty toasts served. The facilities are adequate, though some enhancements would elevate the overall stay.
Great hotel location right on the seafront with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The decor in rooms could be updated, but the bathroom was nice. The price was fair for the value provided.
