"The room while compact was clean and the large bed was super comfortable, we were on the 1st floor so there was some noise from the open atrium of the restaurant area below. We did not have breakfast as the cost was an additional 64 euros per day for 2 people. Bar area was very chilled and comfortable."

"The location is very good, closed to the beach and the city centre/highlights. The pool on the rooftop is small as a jacuzzi, but a nice area to sunbathe, getting lovely views. New sunbeds. Our room 310 room was very quiet, what I value most, spacious and spotless. The mattresses were very comfortable. We did not get the breakfast so I cannot give my opinion about that. I definitely would be back next time."
