The hotel offers very comfy beds in a very confined space. The large comfy bed is a highlight, but beware of the note advising not to open the windows due to pigeons potentially coming in. The service provided by the staff, from the Manager to the room attendants, was exceptionally helpful and accommodating despite being busy. Quick service and attentive staff make for a pleasant stay. The location is superb, situated right by the sea with a short walk to the town center. The dining experience is delightful, offering made-to-order eggs and an option for tasty salmon for a small extra fee. The overall feel is cozy and relaxing, with great views to enjoy.
