Great location

We needed a place to stay for the whole family and had a room with 5 beds facing the sea. Check in worked fine, staff were very friendly and helpful. Pubs and shops in walking distance, will stay again if passing through again.

Lovely hotel

A lovely hotel with spacious, clean rooms and a convenient location, just a short walk to the town centre, and only a 15 minute drive to the Le shuttle terminal. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, making check-in and check-out quick and hassle free. The continental breakfast was simple yet enjoyable , and catered for allergens upon request. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay. We would happily return and recommend it to others.

Lovely family run B&B

Lovely little B&B close to the seafront. Stayed here during off season so they arranged to meet me at the B&B for check-in and the communication was excellent. Very friendly staff during check-in and out. Easily walkable to the town and train station
Phil, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Will skip this one next time

The hotel is very old and not wel maintained. The hallway stinks like toilet. Fair enough its an old building so it make sense. I payed around €90 per night for a very small room with a double bed and a shower and toilet in a broom closet. Good things also: they allow dog and the breakfast was nice. Next time however, ill pay a bit more and find an upgrade. The staff was friendly

Kazimierz, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The area around the hotel was good, but there was giant dog blocking the entrance with it’s owner while we were going to our room and the kids were petrified. Staff didn’t refill the shower kits for the second day. No hair dryer available. We loved the area and the view was very nice from the window.
