Cozy and Clean Rooms

I stayed in a spacious room equipped with essentials like a kettle and safe. The room was always tidy after the daily cleaning service, which I greatly appreciated. The air conditioning worked exceptionally well, keeping me cool during my stay.

Lovely Pool Area

The pool was a good feature, perfect for a relaxing afternoon. It had enough sunbeds for lounging around and was a wonderful spot to take a dip. I enjoyed grabbing some snacks from the nearby supermarket and enjoying them poolside. Although the pool could be noisy on weekends, it was a great way to unwind.

Fresh Breakfast Options

The breakfast offerings were standard but satisfying. I loved the option of ordering customized dishes like omelettes that the friendly staff prepared fresh for me. The selection, although limited, was enough to get me started for the day.

6.4/10

The hotel offers clean and nicely renovated rooms at a good price, making it a decent choice for budget travelers. However, the breakfast options are quite limited, and the pool can get noisy with staff's teenagers at night. Additionally, while the location is close to bars and restaurants, it's a bit far from the beach, requiring a 20-minute walk.
