Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a beautiful location by the harbor, very close to a beach in a picturesque town. The rooms offer comfortable beds and have tea making facilities, although there was a lack of a chair to sit on. The service was mixed with overly friendly staff compensating for occasional lapses in service quality. The dining experience was mostly delightful, featuring local cuisine, yet lacked in gluten-free options. The hotel facilities were adequate, offering a pleasant stay overall.
I loved the hotel's cozy rooms with a shower and a chair to sit on, they were packed with good amenities and offered great value for money. The service was hit or miss, sometimes going over and above to provide excellent customer service, while other times lacking. The location was fantastic, near a bus stop and with easy access to the coast. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some delicious locally sourced ingredients but also lacking in some traditional dishes. Overall, a decent stay with good facilities at a reasonable price.
The hotel is in an amazing location near beautiful beaches and not far from the ferry port. The rooms are equipped with quality amenities, and the bed linen is fantastic. The service went above and beyond to provide excellent customer care. However, the over-friendly attitude did not compensate for some instances of poor coordination. The dining experience was delightful with locally sourced ingredients but lacked varied options. A great value for the money overall.
