The property is surrounded by green, close enough to the beach that you can walk, but there is no view from your room. The property is bit old, and not very clean, we found the previous guest earings on the night stand. Rooms are small but with high ceiling, "neigbours" can be loud if they choose to chat sitting outside. Staff are helpful and very friendly.

Overpriced and Under-Delivered
Booked a 3 day stay in the New Year. Room was large but dated. Outside the room on the patio was a decomposing dead bird. Black mould on the bathroom ceiling and spots on the walls. Room was not serviced on the first day so I queried this with reception who explained that due to being 4 house keepers short the room wasn’t cleaned. They offered me replacement towels. The manager later called and offered to clean the room, this was done around 9pm. Although the bins weren’t emptied and replacement tea/coffee not provided. The next day the same situation. The room wasn’t serviced by 6pm so I spoke with reception who said it would be cleaned. This happened around 7pm. On my final morning water was coming through the ceiling from the upstairs bathroom (through a light socket). Puddle of water in the bathroom. I informed the manager who was at reception and fed back on the issues experienced. She was apologetic and blamed issues with the laundry company for delays cleaning rooms. This differed to what I was told previously. I slept poorly for all 3 nights that I stayed due to the poor sound proofing of the room. I was woken each morning by the stomping of feet and closing of cupboards and doors. This needs addressing. Hotels guests smoking weed outside their room on the second day. Disappointing stay. Avoid. Overpriced and under-delivered

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location, walkable to the beach but far enough away to be quiet in the evenings. Restaurant served a decent breakfast and the dinner offerings were limited, but great quality.

Bustourismus Hotel, sanfte Renovation nötig
Dieses Hotel hat schon bessere Zeiten gesehen. Eine sanfte Renovation der Tische und Stühle in den Zimmern und insbesondere auf den Balkonen ist angezeigt. Die Reinigung der Balkone ist schon länger nicht gemacht. Das Hotel hat definitiv keine 4 Sterne verdient. Superior Zimmer sind gross und Frühstücks Buffet ist in Ordnung, mehr aber auch nicht. Lage in Zentrumsnähe ist von Vorteil, alles ist zu Fuss erreichbar.
