This is a nice hotel and really has the vibe of staying in a family home. It’s located in a quiet area right by the water front. There’s a bit of construction opposite but it wasn’t too bothersome during my stay and hopefully it won’t ruin the sea views once completed! Reception is on the first floor and note there aren’t any lifts, so you need to navigate stairs throughout your stay. The staff were always really friendly and helpful and had no problem arranging things like taxis.
My room was on the second floor and really comfortable for a two night stay. Being a wooden building with thin windows means that you feel and hear the winds coming from the ocean but I still managed to have a good night’s sleep. The air-conditioning unit next to the bed was effective and there’s also a ceiling fan. An empty mini fridge was present along with kettle and large bottle of water provided each day. The bathroom was small but clean, with two bars of soap and a small bottle of shampoo provided, as well as plenty of good towels. The shower was over the bath and annoyingly I never managed to get the water to run hot, but that didn’t spoil what was otherwise a nice spacious room.
There’s lots of seating and tables at various spots on the different veranda levels - these are great for relaxing both day and night. There’s a large fridge in reception stocked with soft drinks and beers and although there’s no food other than a few snacks available there are a few restaurants close by.
Overall this is a lovely and authentic hotel, offering great value, which I’d recommend to anyone and would certainly stay at again myself.
