Ok for a night stop

The staff were very friendly, check in and out easy. The room was missing pillows and towels for the children (which I am sure we could have rectified easily however we were exhausted). The bed was very hard and it was so noisy from the road and dock we actually thought the window was open and therefore didn't sleep very well. The room itself was spacious and clean.

Não é ruim, mas também não é bom.

quando chegamos o hotel estava com cheiro insuportável de fritura, tanto na recepção quando nos quartos.. O quarto é antigo, cheiro de guardado. Não ficaríamos novamente. Não é ruim, mas para bom ta longe.

Dangerous shower

Well positioned on the beach front, comfortable room with sea view. Only gripe is that the shower door opened inwards and when you close it, it scoops all the water onto the bathroom floor. Is it legal to have a shower door opening inwards??

Room was good size but was run down and outdated. It also was positioned on what seemed more like an industrial estate and not as described as advertised. Was quite disappointed with it given the price we paid.
