The TV was broken, the room was dirty (I found receipts from June this year, snack bags under the furniture, the beds were on bricks, mould in places, not very clean bed linen, the walls were dirty, expired milk). We do not recommend this location! ##### Raluca Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie Sep 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location, walking distance to attractions and restaurants.

Not far from beach. Downside was the noise coming from next room of loud music. Also lot of banging doors till early hours of the morning. ##### julie Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marina Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The room was very dirty ##### Marina Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Klarna Aug 7, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was a good size. The pillow cases had marks/stains on them so slept in the other double bed. The tv wasn’t working, and shower was very small. The wardrobe was decent size but if your staying a few days to a week more hangers for you clothes would’ve been better. My room was on the top floor which was around 2-3 flights of stairs so carrying my suitcase up those was tough, there was a lift but wasn’t working. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bfdd9ba9-e999-4f8a-b2fd-5972fdb7d3e0-1754576236416.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed4c3ca5-4a93-4d82-9ee6-cadf07dad36b-1754576236370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/33494e61-de09-4b05-bfc7-0b0771c84036-1754576234807.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b797ed4-ddd0-467b-b865-da2762f854c0-1754576237804.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Klarna Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel Oct 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hospitable and cozy It was great; we’ll stay there again next visit.
