The hotel is located right in the town center close to the beach and shops. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a very comfortable bed, although only a few tables were used during our visit. The service was excellent from the housekeeping team to the management. The dining experience, however, was not great with poorly cooked sausages. Overall, the hotel offers a convenient location and friendly service.

The hotel is situated in the town center, close to all amenities, with a promenade just a few minutes away offering stunning sea views. The rooms are clean and comfortable, featuring a separate bedroom with a very cozy bed and lovely views. The service, from the housekeeping team to the management, is exceptional. However, the dining experience was subpar with poorly cooked sausages. The location is convenient, and the facilities are enjoyable.
