The staff demonstrated great friendliness . i received assistance with an early check-in to change after work. they also reserved a car park space for me. breakfast was excellent. I especially liked the terrace overlooking the sea.

Seaside Getaway

seaside locationoutside tablessmall bathroom
I appreciated the hotel's location directly on the seafront. A terrace offered plenty of outside tables for drinks and relaxation. The bar was well stocked, serving nice wines along with snacks. Breakfast offered a great cooked menu. Eggs florentine stood out. Some free parking spaces are available, and one can reserve on arrival.
My room was accessible through several doors despite the presence of a lift, inconvenient with luggage. The bathroom felt small and claustrophobic. The sink was tiny and quite useless.
Facilities

Large lounge areas provide free coffee to the guests and promote relaxation. Clean bedrooms include upgraded showers and sanitary ware for an enhanced experience. The hotel also offers board games in the lounge area.
Location
10/10
The hotel benefits from its proximity to the sea, offering sea and promenade views. It is positioned in a tranquil coastal town, giving a peaceful getaway. The location allows for easy access to the beach.
Dining

The dining room has a light, airy atmosphere and overlooks the beach. Breakfast includes a large choice of both cooked items from the menu. An extensive breakfast buffet includes items such as berry compote, fruit salad, cereal, yogurt and juices.
