Clean, comfortable, friendly, and quiet (29th May-5th June). Rooms were cleaned every day with crisp white sheets and towels. Reception staff were very friendly.

This hotel was recommended on Trip Advisor and it lived up to its promises. The location is excellent. It's directly opposite the Marina and a very short walk into the Old Town. We were exceptionally impressed with the cleanliness. The public areas and the bedroom were spotless. The breakfast was also very good. There was plenty of choice and, as... more

Excellent small hotel, well placed just outside the main town area. The hotel has a small pool on the roof it's not for swimmers but I am sure it is a welcome cool dip during a hot summer. The food service was b& b only but the food was well prepared and fresh and the staff were always helpful. The... more
