What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We loved our stay here! The hotel is beautiful and well designed. Our rooms were really clean and comfortable and the gym was small but well equipped, has everything you need. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. The location is perfect - next to park, near all the shops and a short walk to the beach. Would recommend!”
“Wonderful hotel, Friendly and helpfull staf, Great Location. Lovely atmosfeer. Very Nice breakfast and cosy bar. The rooftop with pool looks great. Small but I think Nice enough tot dip and cool down on a warm day.”
“We chose the hotel through Booking and saw that it had a rating of 9.1. Usually, I choose hotels or accommodations with a rating of at least 9.3 and above, but the reviews looked good and the photos were very beautiful. However, nothing prepared us for such a truly, truly charming hotel, with wonderful rooms, impeccably clean at the highest possible standard, and with amazing service. I would like to specifically mention Berta. She is the one who welcomed us and the one who said goodbye to us at the end of our stay. It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered such a wonderful service person, smiling, helpful with every matter and problem, simply wonderful. I wish that everywhere I went I would meet a Berta like her. I hope you will know how to promote her, because she is truly one of a kind, warm and welcoming to every person. Thank you very much for the hospitality at the hotel. I will write a recommendation on Booking and of course give a score of 10, and I have already recommended the place to all my friends! Thank you again, and we hope to come back again soon. Merry Christmas, Yosepha and Yaniv”
“Great hotel in a wonderful area close to shops and good bars and restaurants! Lovely little rooftop pool area and easy to ring for drinks from the bar. Very clean and comfortable rooms with lovely bathrooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only had breakfast on site but wide range of choice with quality ingredients. Would recommend x”
“Wow, if you have an opportunity to stay here- do! It is located in easy walking distance from some amazing tapas, cocktail and other places. If you are feeling adventurous, the bus stop right outside will take you to some good places as well. Safe, clean and great bar and very talented bartenders. Breakfast was nice and convenient but tbh, you can also get some very nice food 5 minutes away. The staff is great - their recommendation and help getting a flamenco dinner tickets was spot on.”
