Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was more like a 2-star experience than 3 stars, lacking basic facilities and being poky and expensive for what it offered. The location was very close to the road, making accessibility challenging, as there was no lift available and we had to haul suitcases up a flight of stairs.
The hotel rooms were basic but offered an enormous balcony with a sunset view. Unfortunately, the ensuite toilet wouldn't close, and accessing the hotel required hauling suitcases up stairs. Service was a mix of being attentive and unhelpful. The central location, while ideal for excursions, involved steep steps to reach the town square. Dining options were limited, but the morning coffee was excellent.
The hotel was lacking basic facilities and felt more like a 2-star rather than 3-star accommodation. The room proximity to a noisy area and road was a downside. However, the staff were friendly and made the holiday relaxing despite some distractions.
The hotel is ideally situated by the sea with breathtaking views, surrounded by amazing restaurants, cafes, bars, and convenient tourist information. While the rooms were somewhat small, the friendly and helpful staff made the stay enjoyable. The dining options were limited, yet the location's perks make up for it.
The hotel had a festive nautical feel in the rooms, but it felt more like a 2-star with limited basic facilities and a higher price tag. The cleanliness was commendable, but the value for money was questionable.
I was impressed by the friendly and helpful staff at the hotel, who even prepared a nice breakfast for us on the morning we checked out early. The location was very convenient, especially being close to the ferry and train station, perfect for our day trips. The rooms were updated and had all the essentials, but noise from the nearby road was a downside. The dining experience offered a good variety of locally made bread and drinks, though some breakfast items were occasionally finished early.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and boasted stunning sea views from the balcony. The service was exceptional, especially with early checkout arrangements and convenient location by the ferry. The dining options were varied, catering well to different tastes. However, the location on the cliff required a bit of a sacrifice for convenience.
The hotel's location is exceptional, perfect for boat tours with a balcony and view as a bonus. The service was wonderful and very helpful, although the website's room descriptions were misleading. The dining options were good, but the breakfast selection was lacking. The rooms, however, were small, dark, and with inadequate soundproofing, affecting sleep quality.
My stay at the hotel was really enjoyable. The room was lovely, with a beautiful duplex layout offering a nice view of the harbor from the balcony. However, it could use a more thorough clean, especially in the bathroom. The service was friendly and accommodating, but storing our bags for the day was a bit of a challenge. The location was excellent, right by the port for easy access to ferries. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a simple continental breakfast. Overall, a pleasant stay.
