The hotel offers a picturesque sea view with an ensuite shower, although the portable heater seemed outdated. The convenience of having the toilet in the room was appreciated, but it might need updating.

I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel is situated right on the seafront, making it convenient for exploring the town and enjoying the beautiful views. The rooms are cozy and come with a lovely sea view, but having the toilet in the same space as the shower could be a bit tricky. The service was top-notch, with a delightful welcome drink to kick off my stay. However, the dining experience, while offering tasty dishes, had its limitations. Overall, a great value for the money with some minor room design quirks to consider.
