Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated just a stone's throw from the beach and shopping areas, offering comfortable beds for both adults and kids. The rooms are well-equipped with various amenities like toys, books, a fridge, and tea/coffee making facilities, though some minor issues with hot water were noted. The service was helpful but lacking in some areas. The dining experience provided a sufficient buffet style with a good selection of foods. A slightly higher fee is required for access to private amenities. Overall, a great location for families but slightly distant from the train station.
The hotel had two rooms, a balcony, and a little kitchen, which we didn't need but looked well-used by some other guests. The rooms were perfect for us and the kids but needed updating. The shower had dirty grouting, and there were no tea or coffee facilities. The limited TV made me feel it wasn't good value for money, especially with far better hotels available at a better rate in the area.
