Bibi, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

I had a first floor room on the side of the house, and being on a hillside there was a good view over the rooftops to the sea. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was served from 07.30 and as I needed to leave just after 8 o clock I was very pleased that the service was very prompt. To sum up a hotel I could recommend to friends.

Great spot! Good location. Easy access to local buses and walking distance to great restaurants.
Sheri, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was clean and comfortable. The bed could have been more comfortable with a more up to date mattress but it was ok for the two nights. The only thing I would recommend is perhaps adding some extra cushions as the headboard were metal bars. This would make it far more comfortable to be able to lie in bed at night and watch the TV. The front desk people are fine but a little more enthusiasm when having a new guest to stay wouldn’t go amiss. Breakfast was great. Hot and cooked just right. Wait staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall a great stay for the price. Would definitely come back
