The hotel is located right on the seafront, offering a great view and easy access to the beach. The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean, although the bathroom was across the hall which was a bit inconvenient. The service was friendly, but I found the housekeeping to be a bit lacking. The dining experience was excellent with delicious marinated fish. Overall, a decent value for money stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers a lovely view of the sea right on the front. The rooms have very nice new showers though the separate bathroom is across the hall. The location is great, close to the town center and shops. The dining experience includes hand-cut steaks. However, there could be improvements in certain areas for better value for money.

The hotel has a great location right on the seafront with a cozy cafe nearby for breakfast. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the bathroom is separate. The service is exceptional with efficient housekeeping. The dining offers Vienna Beef hot dogs, and the facilities are well-kept. However, it's not far from the pier, making it a convenient choice.
