“The hotel's Belle Époque design distinguishes it, enhanced by thoughtful touches like complimentary afternoon tea. Its proximity to both the train station and the beach is certainly a plus, but some aspects require attention. While the staff earn high marks for service, be aware that some rooms may show signs of wear.”
