Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms felt a bit like prison cells with obstructed views unless you peek over the high walls, they were still clean and comfy. The service was just average, not particularly friendly or welcoming. The location was excellent, right by the sea, perfect for families with young children, but don't expect much beyond the local attractions. The dining was decent, with good grilled meat but fairly basic overall.
The hotel rooms are more like prison cells with limited space, but they come with balconies and provide a traditional, hygienic, and larger setup. In the morning, you can enjoy a nice small breakfast with fresh cappuccino.
