There was no room available, we were asked to go to hotel next door on „excuse“ of the rooms being better. we ended up in a room which was actually a converted store. i.e room was with full glass wall to street, and to make things worse, on check in it was not clean. Terrible. if you have no capacity or resouces simply do not let or advertise rooms. Unnacceptable

There is NO reception at this hotel. No one to speak with . If you are an international visitor you have to call locally to some fellow to check you in. Customers are always looking around to find staff. The poor cleaners take a beating from customers looking for service personnel. How can you run a hotel and not deal with customers who have questions?

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Extremely basic room and very dated. There was only less than half a roll of loo paper in the bathroom. We could not locate anybody at reception for more. We were extremely glad we only booked in for one night. Definitely not value for the high amount we were charged. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

We loved this property - easy to find and in a great location. Sheltered parking space right outside the door of our room. A few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and beach. The room itself was beautifully clean and had everything needed for our stay. Easy check-in and out with friendly, welcoming staff. We would recommend this property.
