+

- High staff satisfaction — Staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive, with multiple guests singling them out positively.
- Sea views from many rooms — Double rooms face the sea, and upper-floor rooms get sweeping views over the bay, which guests highlight as a standout feature.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Reception runs 24 hours, but standard check-in is limited to 13:00–19:00, which may be inconvenient for later arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited room variety — Only three room types are listed—Classic Triple, Classic Quadruple, and Double—which may not suit all group sizes or preferences.
- Value rating is the lowest category — While still positive at 8.2, value scores lower than other aspects like staff (9.1) and general (8.6), suggesting some guests feel the price could be lower.
