Excellent hotel with friendly staff, with good very clean rooms. The location is good within a short walk to two areas with bars and restaurants. The old town is a ten minute taxi ride (about 6 Euro) were there is a greater choice of bars and restaurants, street entertainment and shops. The pool area is smaller than the picture would suggest and was busy. Breakfast in the hotel is good and worth the extra cost when booking.

Check in was fast and effortless, you do have to pay 10 euro deposit which they return on checkout for the room key, so be mindful of that. If you travel with expedia make sure you tell them you have paid expedia so they dont ask you to pay again as my understanding is there is a delay between expedia and the hotels you stay at on payment and it looks like you havent paid but if you explain there is no issue. This was a stunning hotel in an even more stunning location, we were in room C209...

10/10 Exceptional

Just returned from 4 night stay, found all staff really pleasant and helpful. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment and although it appeared quite dated it was very clean and spacious and had everything you would need for a self catering holiday. The hotel was only a 5 minute walk to the Strip with lots of bars and restaurants and we walked to the Old Town in about 20 mins. I would definitely return to this hotel.

Hotel in a perfect location adjacent to Oura Beach & near to, but not uncomfortably close to the nearby entertainment area (The strip). Hotel is clean, with well kept grounds & helpful staff. Try the nearby Calipto restaurant, in appearance it looks unremarkable, but the fish & meat dishes are freshly prepared & extremely tasty & extremely good value (€20 - €24 for 2 meals & drinks); we eat here most days.
