Central Location and Clean Rooms
central locationclean roomlarge roomstaff attention
The hotel has a very central location. It is close to the beach and many restaurants. The room was large and very clean. The staff provided great attention.
The car park is only suitable for very small cars. Larger vehicles need to use a different, more expensive car park further away. This parking situation requires a walk to the hotel.

The staff were very helpful during my check-in. I even received a welcome drink, which I appreciated (it's a nice touch). The location is central. The beach is very close to the hotel, and there is a selection of restaurants nearby.
The car park situation was not great. I understood car park cost extra. The hotel website states it is available and cost 15€, but that space is only for small cars. It wasn't possible to park a bigger car there. (I found a spot in a parking garage nearby).
