Reasonable Stay, Some Shortcomings

central location helpful staff car hire noisy room small pool average breakfast

The location was pretty good. It was a short walk to both the city center and the beach. The staff seemed really friendly and helpful. Anna-Maria at reception was particularly helpful with arranging an airport shuttle. I booked a car with them, which could be picked up outside the hotel. It saved a lot of hassle.

My room was very noisy! I noticed there was no sound isolation, and I could hear everything from both inside and outside the hotel. The rooftop infinity pool was small. Breakfast quality seemed average.
