The hotel is very outdated and not up to 4 star standards at all. The rooms are small and not very well maintained. Was first checked into a room that was occupied by someone else, had to reprogram my room card 4 times in one day. Breakfast was also below standard. Overall not worth the money.

Convenient location. Staff was very nice and helpful.
My shower didn't work. The bad was combined (two singles) but I could feel the split part and it was disruptive. Didn't have towels on the first night.

Location, friendly staff
Parking is very limited but they have an okay plan for that. The wifi is very slow ☹️ and the shower water pressure is just ridiculous.

Cleanliness
The side lamps were not working, I had booked for 2 guests and the room was prepared for 1 guest like toiletries, toilet paper etc. Staff not friendly, I remember the gentleman who came to move my car as I was leaving and was blocked. He simply came to the car requesting keys without greeting.

Location, Staff was the greatest. Value for money for short stays or for a lone traveler. Breakfast was really good. I love the fact that they park your car and return it in the morning at your request. I will return for more shorter stays.
Just need some revamp with some interior designs to make it look more modern and maybe add some microwave, smart tv and a bigger fridge atleast twice the size of what they offer because that looks like a cooler box. Maybe replace a bath tub with shower only, I didn't like the fact that you have to stand in a bath tub to take a shower that was a bit uncomfortable for me.
6.0
Only the sea view that we have to pay extra for
1. The room was not clean especially the bathroom
2. The fridge had juice spilled when we arrived and I think it's still dirty even now. Because I don't think the cleaners care about their job
3. How can you leave the safe locked mara 👎👎👎
5.0

the room is too big and it’s just have a bed and a thousand cupboards for no reason

Great location, paid more than they charge for non b&b but didn't get breakfast
There's not enough space in their nearby parking space
8.0
We didn't eat the breakfast at the hotel cause the room we got at Booking. Com didn't have one and it was more expensive for not having breakfast so I can advise people to call the hotel instead of booking through booking.com
