Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, allowing me to easily explore the area with complimentary bikes. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, though they showed some signs of wear. The service was top-notch, especially from the helpful concierge. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a wide variety of delicious options. However, the carpets and bathroom tiles could use some updating.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is stunning and the staff is incredibly attentive, the rooms could definitely use some updates. The dining was fantastic, but I found it a bit pricey. Overall, I enjoyed the gardens and beach view, but the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortable at night.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the location was superb, just across from the beach, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the rooms were quite outdated and lacked air conditioning, which made for a stuffy night, and the bathroom was cramped with some maintenance issues. The price seemed reasonable for the location, but it felt like I was missing out on comfort.
The hotel has a great location just across the street from the sea, making it perfect for leisurely walks along the promenade and easy access to nearby restaurants. The rooms were stylishly decorated and the en-suite bathroom was a highlight with its double shower and separate bath. However, our check-in was delayed as our rooms weren't ready even after 4 PM, which was a bit frustrating. The service was a mixed bag; while some staff were friendly and attentive, others seemed overwhelmed. Overall, a decent stay but with room for improvement.
The hotel is charming with its country house decor and offers a high level of cleanliness and comfort. The staff is incredibly friendly and efficient, making for a pleasant experience overall. However, dining can be a bit pricey. The location is perfect for exploring the area but could benefit from better beachfront options.
