Rooms are ok but towels are too small. The breakfast is a failure. Absolutely too little space, you are lucky to find a place to sit. We came before nine and all food was gone, had to wait for them to bring more little by little. Difficult to sleep since pidgeons have inhabitet the suspended ceiling and run around and make noise all night. And the place is a maze since it consists of two parts with a lot of corridors.

It is in a super location, just inside the town walls near the sea front. It is beautifully maintained and very comfortable. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was magnificent. Parking available. Would definitely stay again.

Great atmosphere, the hotel was Christmas decorated. Cosy and welcoming. |The room was a little outdated but spacious and clean and with a safe. |The breakfast was varied and good, and the breakfast room was very nice. |The location is great, central and almost no traffic. |The sauna and small swimming pool were included, and we enjoyed using them as well, but the pool water was cold. The staff were attentive and friendly. There was also a luggage room, so we didn’t have to carry our bags around after checking out. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.

Stayed here on several occasions. Not the fanciest hotel with a bit dated furnishings but certainly comfortable enough. Great service when we ran into some issues, we were taken very seriously. We also got to change rooms without question when we indicated we wanted one without carpet. Good breakfast with a decent selection. Fantastic location. Overall very happy with the hotel, especially for the price we paid!
