The hotel had a good location close to the sea front. I liked the relaxing rooms on the hotel floors.

The food was the worst I have ever eaten. There were not many options and we had the same options each night. The pasta was freezing cold and it didn't taste nice.

Good stay for sightseeing

sea frontrelaxing roomcomfortable chairsmall room

This place is very close to the seafront. There is also an excellent food shop nearby. I liked relaxing in rooms on the hotel floors. The chairs are comfortable if you do not want to go straight to my room.

The room was very small. This can be problematic if you have much luggage.
