Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a convenient location, but the rooms are small and noisy. The staff is fantastic, offering great service. The dining experience is lovely with delicious options. The hotel facilities are good value for money.
I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were really clean with a comfy bed and a great bathroom, perfect for getting ready for a special occasion like the wedding I attended in the afternoon. However, the room felt a bit small for two people. The service was top-notch, with a very welcoming and friendly staff who were always ready to help. The location was amazing, just a short walk away from the beach and nightlife. The dining experience was absolutely delicious with reasonable prices. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor issues to consider.
The hotel rooms looked absolutely nothing like the images on booking and were extremely unclean, but the service was absolutely amazing and clearly proud of their work. The location is very good despite being in a noisy spot, and the dining was absolutely delicious. Facilities were great, although with some idiosyncratic features.
The hotel room was smaller than expected but still of great quality. It was well-appointed, fantastic for a solo traveler like me, but it might have felt crowded for more than one night. The service was pleasant and helpful, making my entire stay extremely enjoyable. The location was comfortable, although it could be a bit more upmarket. The dining experience was great, with delicious dishes delivered promptly. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel is in a great location with easy access to the beach and plenty of nearby shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, featuring unique amenities, but some noise from outside and between rooms can be a bit disruptive. The service is outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff that go the extra mile, while the dining options are delicious and delivered promptly to the room.
The hotel offers tiny rooms that may seem small for two but are a bit bigger than average, making it cozy yet compact. The staff are professional and friendly, with many nice touches that make the stay enjoyable. The location is fantastic and rates a perfect 10 for its boutique style and close proximity to tourist areas. The dining options are absolutely delicious, although somewhat limited.
