sea view friendly staff on-site parking 10-minute wait dusty room
The room had a sea view. There was free on-site parking. I found the staff friendly. The hotel is close to the cable car.
Check-in happened at 14:50. I had to wait 10 minutes for the key. The key cards arrived exactly at 15:00. The wait was slightly annoying. I found mould in the shower. There was dust everywhere in the room.

Wonderful Stay with amazing Views

cable car helpful staff excellent breakfast pool access
I enjoyed the short walk to the cable car. It made getting to the top of the rock easy. After exploring, I appreciated jumping into the pool and ordering drinks and sandwiches. The hotel staff were helpful (they even gave me some local tips!), and the hotel was nicely decorated. The breakfast had an excellent spread of options.
The service at the restaurant was a little slow.

My room was quite large with a super view of the sea. I was charmed. The layout offered plenty of space, and everything was clean upon arrival. The balcony was amazing for enjoying the sunset views.

The hotel sits on the slopes of the rock. It offers views of the bay and straits. The marina with restaurants is about a 15-minute walk away, and the town center is only a 20-minute walk away, which i enjoyed.
