"Lovely boutique hotel with very helpful reception staff. Room lovely - jacuzzi bath in our room was out of service but we wouldn't have used it anyway. Walk in shower was just fine. Level of background music perfect, as was choice of tracks. Many hotels blast out musak but this was just perfect. Pleasant bar serving 10€ cocktails and other drinks. Wish we had been able to take advantage of the lovely pool - not quite warm enough outdoors. Short walk from the town centre and a few free parking spots right outside if you're lucky enough to get one as we were. Would definitely return if we are in the area in future."

"The staff was absolutely amazing. Yvonne helped us in so many ways: arranging several taxis, suggesting things, and helping us with all of our concerns. She should be a head concierge at a 5 star hotel. Carolina was also wonderful, kind and thoughtful. The room is very old and there is street noise due to the cobblestones. But it was spacious. - a Junior Suite. Location is fantastic."

"All wonderful for the price. The staff were so friendly. Checkin was great and loved that the key was on your phone. The normal beds had a nice firm mattress, the window had great blinds that kept light out. Lots of space in wardrobes. Shower pressure was great (shower curtain not so great at keeping water out the bathroom). Towels provide along with small toiletries such as mini soap blocks and single use bodywash and shapoo in one, Had a TV and mini kitchenette. Good lighting in the room.with bedside tables and lights. Lots of charge points too. We were in the 5th floor with 1 quick lifts availble. Area was great, a coffee and bakery shop less than a minute away, along with two bars that were very cheap. Its around 30 minutes to the harbour and 15 minutes to closest set of resturants. The area is pretty flat with no major hills. The only niggle which we didn't raise with the hotel was that the additional bed in our triple room was very loud when ever you moved."
