“A lovely hotel featuring on-site parking and sea views, located just a short distance from the city”
The hotel is located right near the heart of the city. A big plus is that it has its own spacious parking lot, making it easy and safe to park your car. Sea-view rooms come with a small balcony, which is a lovely spot to sit and look out over the harbor.

“Very good value for money”
A very nice surprise. The rooms, while not enormous were adequate and tastefully decorated. The desk was large enough to work on. The views from my room (3rd floor) on to the Mediterranean was very nice. Despite being next to a busy road, traffic was almost non existent at night and the windows are well insulated. The terrace on the ground floor is also nice for having breakfast or just reading or working.

“Great location, comfortable and very clean.”
Very clean, close to restaurants on the water front. Carpark free and next to the property. Room is small but functional. Would have to be the smallest shower (in the lower rooms) but it works. Comfortable bed. Overall a great stay.

“Fantastic for a lower budget, all you need!”
Just renovated, clean, fresh, light and bright. We had a room with patio at the back, very quiet. Bed is a little small and the shower very narrow, but overall it is a fine room. We stayed just 1 night. A beautiful terras for breakfast with lots of plants and beautiful furniture and parasols. Location is top, 4 minutes walking to the centre and free parking! Simple breakfast but good. The staff is super kindly. I really can recommend to stay here.
