Lovely new hotel. Great experience, made by the welcoming, friendly nature of the staff. Restaurants/bars/city sights within walking distance along the seafront. Nice pool/poolside area to relax by too. Nice breakfast. Would recommend a stay here.

I really enjoyed my stay here! The property was very new, nice and clean. The staff were all so helpful and friendly:) The reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is just because I didn’t like the fact that smoking was allowed in common areas and I just thought it was unfair to people like me who can’t inhale cigarettes smoke…I told the rooftop staff about it and he basically didn’t do anything about it and said it was allowed…..because of that reason I could even enjoy the hotel pool and view with fresh air so I had to go back to my room unhappy. Also, more protein options for breakfast need to be available for people who can’t eat pork…I had to stick to just eggs because the bacon and sausages were all pork:( But otherwise everything else was great! Would definitely stay again!

Heel fijn hotel, vriendelijk personeel, maar vrij lawaaierig. Ramen sluiten niet goed af waardoor er veel geluid van de straat tot in de kamer komt.
