It was a good and enjoyable stay. If you are big on breakfast go for it, they make the best, biggest breakfast

Lovely breakfast, excellent location, close to everything, it is right in front of the beach..

Carpets in the common area, dated and dusty, parking is in another building which made unsafe at night but the security is there to accompany you.

It was a clean place to stay, no bells or whistles. Fine for overnight reasonably priced room.

clean rooms with coffee, tea and fridge.

breakfast had long, slow moving queues. The rugs look dirty. The elevator was broken and everyone had to take the stairs (sorry for those above the 4th floor, we were out of breath). Bug in tub.

Exceptional Stay,The hotel staff was so welcoming and Friendly, I can recommend it to anyone.

The rooms are clean, enjoyed their breakfast everyday and I loved the fact that they prepared a breakfast package for me and my kids since our departure flight was early. The staff very friendly

The lift got stucked for the whole day and we had to use stairs.

Marvelous experience with great staff.

The breakfast was great everyday..I just missed the omellete that we used to be made for you on request.The windows with no burglars gave me a fright on this high GBV era.

Windows to have some burglarish it really gave me creeps.Even kids can be playing and one can fall off.

Disappointing venue

Nothing, the reception area is always dirty, the rooms the carpet corridors are never clean. The room door locks are broken. Breakfast was worse the table cloths are dirty as If they are never washed. After guests use a table they don't wipe the table for the other guests who still have to eat

Everything. The wifi is slow, you wait for too long before you are given your room keys 3 hours after check in time of 14h00. Dirt everywhere, soot and mold in the bathrooms. The pictures on booking.com are deceiving maybe they were taken a long time ago when the hotel was still properly kept.

My stay

Our phone was taken from the couches at the reception by one of the guest at the hotel, they where to help us locate the person, and we found the phone. The rooms are very clean. The hotel is just a walk to the beach. The breakfast is superb. The receptionist are friendly.

When we where supposed to check in, the rooms where not ready. I wasn't aware that visiting this place during school holidays is a bad idea, it was packed, we had to wait some time to eat breakfast because it was full. They don't have enough eating areas to accommodate large number of guests for breakfast.
