Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room I was initially given was not suitable, but the replacement room felt like stepping back in time. It's understandable that old buildings are challenging to maintain. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and helpful, albeit with room for improvement in language skills. The location was nice for walks but had some disappointing aspects. The dining experience was hit or miss, with some operational hiccups. Facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel has a convenient location near the seafront and the party venue I visited last night. The sea view room was a nice choice, and parking on the main beach road with a ticket from the hotel was easy. Staff were friendly, but some areas like the window sill, shower, and sink seemed outdated.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms, although a bit tired, are surprisingly quiet and have their charm despite some maintenance issues. The service is a mix of helpful and slightly lacking in understanding. The location is unbeatable for a seaside stay, with minor dusty spots to note. The dining experiences vary from quality to disappointing. Overall, a place that has its strengths and weaknesses.
