Clean hotel with very new modern rooms, a lovely breakfast buffet with everything you could need and the hotel is right by the bus stop. Definitely get a hire car if planning to stay here as there are so many nice beaches to visit around 20 mins away, buses aren’t very reliable so a car is a definite need. We felt quite restricted without one and spent around €40 one way every taxi compared to €50 for a hire car. Woman at the front desk was very welcoming and we had no issues checking in until we got to our room, I had booked a sea view but opened the curtains to find a view of an alley and some bins. This was disappointing and when we told the woman at the desk she informed us our sea view room had an issue with the lights and wouldn’t be ready until tomorrow, she hadn’t told us this initially which was quite annoying. After a bit of back and forth we did get moved to a sea room like I’d paid for, I will say if you book a sea view it is obstructed by the restaurant roof unless you are on the very top floor. The room was lovely and clean although there was a bit of a stale smell and the hallways smelt of cigarette smoke on our first night. The bathroom let the room down as it had not been updated to the same standard as the bedroom, bubbles would come up the drain after every shower and there was a large gap between the door and wall so not much privacy when you’re in the bathroom. This hotel definitely had pros and cons but for a cheap stay it was perfect for us.

Superb characterful boutique hotel a short walk from the centre of the Old Town. Very helpful staff.
