Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the hotel's location, which is just across the road from the sea, offering stunning views, and within a short walk of the harbour and the main beach. The rooms are considered nicely decorated, clean, and spacious, with modern bathrooms being a plus, especially for short stays. On-site free parking is a definite advantage, though some have noted that the parking can be quite tight at times. Being close to the train station makes it convenient, and many enjoy sitting in the front garden to admire the sea.
