Exactly what we expected to get. Good value for money, great if you like quiet, peaceful vacation with a small own nice beach next to the hotel; staff attitude compensates for the hotel being a bit outdated, but was something it was expected. Breakfast with limited options but tasty. Great view from the reastaurant.

“Highly recommend to stay there”
This hotel was very nice. Has very beautiful view on the sea from the balcony😃 Staff there is very helpful and kind and let me stay longer in the room, because of my later train. They have a private sunbeds on the beach which are free for their clients and swimming pool😃 Food in the restaurant was excellent and I was always full after 😃 City in general is small but cute and not too much turist in this period, which was brillant for me 😃 Highly recommend to stay there, even for few days! 😉

Location and beautiful Seaview The owner and staff were very helpful advising on train /bus times booking trips and restaurants The lifeguards on the beach went above and beyond helping elderly people to the sunbeds carrying their bags as well as keeping an eye on the kids they were always smiling and happy to have a chat

“Nice 3* hotel, great staff”
It's a nice retro 3* hotel. It faces the sea and hotel guests have free sunbeds and umbrellas. There are plenty of them, no reservation is needed. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. Amazing people who try to make their guests feel welcome. There is a big fridge in the room which is very quiet.

We have booked 2 double rooms in Hotel Kennedy from 3rd to 7th August. The stay at there was very nice and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was great and hotel has their own car park so we did not have any trouble with car parking. Thank you

“Charming and friendly but in need of a major facelift”
There were plenty of staff and they were all very friendly. The beachservice is good but since its on the eastcoast its not a sandy beach. Breakfast was good. Good parking. You can see that this hotel has the charm of past times and 50 years ago it must have been very luxurious but today only the charm remains and its really needs a facelift.

“Wonderful.”
I love that the property has a distinct retro style, it is so well kept, clean and has all the amenities and facilities required. It has direct private access to the beach with deck chairs at no extra charge. The location is absolutely beautiful.

“Wonderful retro hotel by the beach”
Very nice hotel in retro style. We got a sea view room and it was really wonderful. Very welcoming and polite staff. Good location in front of the pebble beach. All the comments mentioning old rooms and furniture are correct, but this is what makes it special. Furniture and rooms look old, but more as in 'retro' and not as in 'broken or heavily worn'. Everything is working fine and is as good as new, and it's all part of the hotel's charm. It definitely doesn't need any renovation, then it would just become the same as any other "new" hotel in any other place.
