I stayed at a hotel in a great location, but the room I got was a bit hidden away at the end of a dark corridor downstairs. However, it was perfectly fine and had everything I needed, overlooking a back street without sea views. The beds were comfy, and I enjoyed a good breakfast the next morning to start my day.

7.0/10

The hotel room was small but had everything needed, though communication from reception about room readiness was lacking. The constant smell of cigarette smoke was unpleasant, and the family room was cramped in the attic. The service was friendly and welcoming, particularly Nicola who made a fuss of my niece. The location was ideal, near the beach and town. The dining experience was average, with greasy items and lackluster service. Overall value for money is debatable.

Waking up to the lovely view of the sea was a great way to start the day in our cozy room, although the long corridor caused some Wi-Fi issues. The cleanliness was satisfying, and the lift provided for my wife's disability access was essential for our stay.
