Location is very handy. A train station and bus connections are close to the hotel, it makes getting around very easy. The beautiful beach is close, it has golden sands. There is much to see close by.

The location is convenient. It is a short walk to the pier. The rooms were clean. The breakfast included was good.
The room was quite small for four people. There were barely any facilities. The premises felt a bit dated and needed some care. The carpet in our room was badly marked.

The breakfast was excellent, and the staff were friendly.
The room felt a bit cramped, especially with luggage. The television remote didn't work, and I couldn't find anyone to assist. The 'no eating in the room' rule was a bit of a nuisance, especially when I couldn't get cutlery.
