Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the convenient location, with bars and restaurants just a short walk away. The rooms often feature desirable amenities such as a fridge, and some appreciate having a separate little room with a TV within their twin room. While the breakfast is generally well-received, some guests have mentioned that it is located down a flight of stairs, which may be a consideration for those with mobility issues.

adequate stay

convenient location short walk preferred breakfast door banging single towel kettle water

the location was convenient near restaurants and bars. reaching the beach was easy with a short walk. the hosts prepared breakfast according to my preferences it was lovely.

the constant banging of doors from other guests was disturbing past midnight. i received only one towel. the kettle water tasted off so tea wasn't good.
