Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a nice view from the rooms and a really powerful shower, which is great especially when traveling with children. However, some rooms have small windows. The service, particularly on the night shift, was mixed, with one poor receptionist handling multiple roles. The location is convenient, near the Sea and in the area we wanted. The dining experience was pleasant with scones included. Overall, the facilities were good.
The hotel provides a mixed experience with clean rooms and friendly staff but falls short in dining options. The location offers easy access to key attractions, yet some aspects are lacking in service and management.
The hotel was ideally located, near everything we needed to see and on top of the steepest hill. The rooms were spacious with beautiful views, but the service was let down by poor management. The dining experience was pleasant with grilled meats, and the facilities were excellent. However, the hill location did not help accessibility.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with clean rooms and good service but is held back by its rundown yard view and poor dual-role receptionist. The location is convenient for exploring the area but somewhat isolated on a large hill. The dining options are satisfactory but could be improved. Overall, the value for money is decent.
The hotel is perfectly situated near the sea and above the bistro, offering stunning views. The rooms are equipped with bunk beds, which is great for a family of four, but a bit cramped. The service was mixed, with the night shift receptionist giving inconsistent answers. The hotel's location is ideal for those wanting to explore the area; however, the open gate to the alley at night could be unsettling. Dining options were included with a pleasant view, and the homemade ice cream was a delightful treat. The facilities were adequate but not overly impressive.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious but lacked some basic amenities like hot water and heating. The service was subpar due to understaffing and inconsistent answers. The location, although convenient, was a bit inconvenient due to its uphill position. The dining was ordinary with cold dishes, and the facilities were just average.
