Overall a good stay. We stayed in the 16th floor and the room was basic but met all our needs with a nice view of the harbour , comfortable beds and a decent bathroom. The room was cleaned daily and the maids were extremely helpful.

Some things in the hotel are slightly dated with plaster missing on some of the balcony's. We also had a small issue with the shower on two days where it just stopped mid shower for around 5 minutes (not sure if this was due to the water pressure)

The pool does not open to 11am and is locked behind a gate although this didn't bother us as we went a walk in the morning for a late breakfast and some coffee. Pools is decent with a nice view , staff go round and ensure the sunbeds are taken by guest staying at the hotel and not non staying guests - this is due to the pool having a skybar that is open to the public.

The location is great with the beach across the street and bars/restaurants all within a small walking distance. The train station is also only 10 minutes away.

Overall we would return

Positif: L'hôtel est situé en face de la plage. Le petit-déjeuner est très complet.

Par contre:
* Les prix sont élevés
* le stationnement proposé (souvent plein) est loin de l'hôtel (il y a d'autres stationnements plus proches et pour le même prix.
* L'hôtel est vieillot et les chambres sont petites.
* La salle de bains est minuscule et il faut pratiquement enjamber le bol de toilette pour aller dans la douche, elle aussi très petite.
* Le carrelage de la salle de bains a du vécu.
* Autour du lit, aucune table de chevet
* Le lit est à la limite du confort

Bed was incredibly hard & not very comfortable. The bathroom seemed a bit dirty in my opinion, even after the housekeeping team had cleaned each day. The rooms are not soundproof at all so it’s possible to be woken up by drunk holidaymakers throughout the night which is annoying. I wouldn’t stay here again.

great beach front location and a relaxed atmosphere. The rooms were quite basic and a little tired in places, but still comfortable enough for a short stay.

The highlight was definitely the rooftop pool area, with amazing 360° views across the city and a really nice vibe both during the day and in the evening.

Breakfast also had a good variety of choices, with plenty to pick from each morning. Overall, a pleasant stay mainly for the location, views, and rooftop atmosphere.

Very nice rooftop pool but it can get crowded and difficult to get a seat. Staff were friendly and accomodating, even getting us into a room a few hours before check in. Very clean and well kept.

Hotel was clean and pretty well maintained. House keeping also did a great job daily. Pool bar was great, drinks were good especially the Pina Colada and not crazy expensive. Big negative and also the reason I'll never go back was the A/C and location. The first night was hot and I couldn't sleep. After messing with the thermostat for awhile I just opened the balcony door. The problem was this hotel sits right in the middle if the party, night clubs and busy streets, sleeping with the balcony door open wasn't any better for sleeping due to the noise and garbage trucks emptying dumpsters full of beer bottles all night and morning long. When I went to the front desk in the morning and told them the A/C in my room wasn't working they told me that it is on a central a/c system and it was not turned on. Even though the lobby and everywhere else outside of the rooms was very well air conditioned to the point that it actually felt cold. I said I couldn't sleep in the heat, the staff all said there was nothing they could do and that I should ooen tge balcony door. When I mentioned the exessive noise they said they also knew about the noise but the noise was not there fault. In short unless you like sleeping in the heat or can sleep though extreme noise this place in not recommended. Sux nights of hell!

The hotel in a great location but not sound proof. Great gaps under the doors which results hearing it all, same with the walls. Shame that sky bar didn't allow anyone to have drinks on the sunbeds after 6pm or on Sat night all had been told that bar closed at 7pm?! I imagine this place is busy during the summer season but done tlc definitely is needed. At times it felt that the coffee and milk was rationed. Would I stay there again? Perhaps though I'd imagine if your room faces the main street in the summer it'd be very noisy all night long.

Check-in was stated as 2pm. We arrived at the hotel about 11.30am after a 6am flight (meant getting up at 2.15am) followed by a train journey. We were wondering if we would be lucky and maybe our room would be ready. At reception I said ‘hello, we have a reservation’ before I could show my confirmation, the gentleman behind the desk said ‘you have reservation, check in is 2pm, come back 1pm and maybe’ now I wasn’t EXPECTING to check in early, but I was HOPING. We have stayed in hundreds of hotels over the last 30 years and I’ve NEVER known a hotel not check to see if a room is ready. If he had looked at the computer and said, I’m sorry but your room isn’t ready yet, I would’ve thought no more about it, but his attitude was not a welcoming one. He did offer to let us have a key to use the locked toilet in reception! Where we quickly changed out of our travelling clothes (it was 9 degrees when we left home and 29 degrees when we arrived) then he let us leave our luggage in an unlocked room! Figure that one!
On the plus side, when we did get our room, it was exactly what we booked, it was very clean and more than adequate. The daily cleaning service was spot on.
The hotel is a bit dated and basic, but for our stay it was just right. Despite the unwelcoming arrival, we returned at 2pm after a lovely lunch in a beachside restaurant, which was the start of a very pleasant stay.

The worst thing for me personally was an 8-9” high step that you’ve to take to be able to access the bathroom in the room. You just don’t expect a step when you go to the bathroom. Let’s say I about killed myself twice!😅

And then a staff memeber in the rooftop bar didnt make us feel welcome on our first visit there and had a very aggressive tone . However, the reception staff and the room attendants were amazing. The rooms were cleaned really well every day and the receptionists were helpful.
