Hotel is in a good central position, with the rear of the hotel overlooking the sea, as does the restaurant, which was nice at breakfast. Room was basic, but we were only there one night so was adequate for our needs. Good shower. Very nice buffet breakfast with choice of hot and cold food. Staff friendly. Private car park available.

Good communication with hotel for organising parking and a later checkout on our last day. Parking at the hotel was close by. Check in was smooth and all staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Lovely large room with balcony and sea view. Our room was clean and tidy with a large comfy bed, air con, fridge, hairdryer, towels, robes, slippers and toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was included in the price and very good. Close to shops, restaurants and beach. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Good hotel

Staff friendly, breakfast excellent, facilities fine. However, website implies that all rooms lookout over the bay or seafront. This is untrue as half the rooms look over a grubby back road. This is fine for a short business trip but not for 7 days holiday. No other rooms were available to us.

Wir hatten drei Nächte in einem Zimmer mit Meerblick und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Zimmer hatte einen großen, funktionierenden Tresor, in den mein Notebook passte, und einen Kühlschrank, der wirklich kühlte! Das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber, wie es auch das gesamte Hotel war. Das Personal war stets freundlich. Wir hatten Halbpension. Es gab ein reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet; das Abendessen à la carte war sehr gut. Die Parkplatzsituation ist ein bisschen angespannt – wir hatten aber immer Glück. Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage, direkt am Strand. Wenn ich mal Hotelbesitzer bin, werde ich so neumodischen Kram wie an die Wand geschraubte Stangen erfinden, über die man seine Handtücher hängen kann.
