tasteful and well-equipped

sea proximity cheap parking modern interior
the location is nice, very close to the sea. cheap parking was right at the street in front of the building. i found modern facilities and interior design throughout the hotel.
i found lots of stairs and no lift to the top floor. pigeons liked to sit on a roof next to our windows. this woke us up at 5am.

i booked a beautiful room and it had amazing views of the ocean! there was also a lot of light that streamed in and i loved the minimalist touch for the design. the room also had excellent amenities with nice shampoo and conditioner!
the dining area downstairs felt vacant, it didn't have much atmosphere!

i stayed in a cabin room and it was clean. the staff helped me with my bags when i arrived. they allowed me to store them downstairs because there is no lift.
the room was very small it was fine for a one night stay. it was disappointing to be told breakfast was a mistake. they don't serve breakfast on mondays.

helpful staff fine view large bathroom
Eve at the front desk was very helpful. she assisted with bag storage because there is no elevator. i was able to store the pram downstairs. i recommend requesting a room with a sea view. It was fine. the room had nice touches like tea, coffee, and milk options (i was able to request different kinds from reception). the bathroom was large.
