Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a prime location, set near the shopping center and the beach, making it convenient for exploring. The upcoming refurbishment plans bring promise for an even better experience. Everything is close by, which is a major plus, but keep in mind the ongoing work as a minor inconvenience. The rooms are mixed, with a modernized front bedroom but also a broken wardrobe that needs fixing. The value for money is fair considering the positive location factors and the upcoming improvements.
The hotel has a fantastic location, very close to all attractions and next to the Winter gardens where we were going to see a show. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped but could use some modernization, especially in the bathroom. The broken wardrobe was a downside. The price was considered fair.
The hotel is located close to everything we needed, in the city center, and next to the Winter Gardens where we were going to see a show. The rooms are comfortable but still require some modernization, although the front bedroom has a broken wardrobe that needs fixing. The dining, featuring the freshest fish, was enjoyable, and the service, including housekeeping, was satisfactory. The facilities are decent, but the bathrooms are outdated and need improvements.
