Really nice hotel in a good location

We had a confortable stay at this small but new feeling Hotel. The rooms were very clean with good facilities. We did not get a chance to use the pool but it looked lovely. It was quite a way to restuarants and things to do, but very close to the east beach and promenade which are lovely. Our main issues was the room upstairs seemed to have a noisey family who loiked to get up at 4 am and be noisey and stomp about upstairs. This is not the hotels fault but it did show that the soundproofing is not great so if you get a bad neighbour you will know it. Overall a great place to stay that we would happily recommend to others.
