Guest Ratings & Reviews
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was incredibly helpful. The location is fantastic, just across from the promenade and close to all the shops. The dining experience was a highlight with several options included. The facilities were top-notch, making for a great overall experience.
My stay at this hotel was amazing! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a balcony, adding a nice touch to the experience. The staff were helpful and provided excellent service throughout my visit. The location was very convenient, being close to great restaurants and the sea. The dining options were exceptional, with included unlimited drinks. However, the miso soup was a bit disappointing. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel is situated right by the old pier, close to the vibrant town center, and still near the seafront, offering a mix of convenience. The rooms are in good condition with comfortable beds, but some might lack a balcony. The service, although friendly, may have room for improvement in response time. The dining options are varied, including choices for vegetarians, but fresh meat may not be on par. The facilities are adequate, providing laundry and newspaper services for guests.
