The property was ok for a night or two. It was a bit away of the main street, but close enough of restaurants and bars. Our balcony had a sea nice sea view. The problem was the linen and towels thay had a very strong mouldy smell.

Terrible!

This is definitely the worst hotel we have ever stayed in!! We couldn’t even stay there the first night because the room they expected us to stay in was full of mold and had stained bedsheets. They had no other rooms so we had no choice but to pay again at a different hotel! We went back the next day and checked into a different room but this was still awful with a knackered old bathroom with broken shelves, and we noticed in the morning that the pillows we’d been sleeping on were also moldy!! Honestly this hotel needs total renovation or knocking down. The photos on the web make it look so much better than it is. The only good thing about the hotel was the 2 young staff members who were very sweet and apologetic.

Ett mysigt och behagligt ställe!

Ett mysigt och behagligt ställe. Vi bodde här fyra nätter. Våra rum var rymliga och hade fin utsikt mot vattnet. Lite dåligt tryck i duschen kanske men annars inget att klaga på. Skönt balkonghäng med apor och ekorrar som sällskapade med oss ibland. Alla var trevliga och hjälpsamma och fick oss att trivas fantastiskt bra. En mysig restaurang med god mat och skön och avkopplande stämning.

Très moyen

Petite guesthouse. Chambre très moyenne, même après changement. Calme mais au dessus d'un restau qui est entre l'hôtel et la plage. Attention les photos de la salle de bain correspondent à une chambre au Rc sans fenêtre ! Les autres sont quelconques.

Почему-то в первый день свободного номера не оказалось, несмотря на букинг, и мы спали в подсобном помещении, правда за сниженную плату.
