Anand, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Even though the hotel is a bit older and some areas feel slightly dated, it’s still a good hotel overall. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the location is excellent, and breakfast offers a good variety. Some areas could be better maintained and cleaned, but overall, it’s a pleasant stay.
María Isabel, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is wonderfully located, the perfect distance from the noise, but only two short blocks from the coast. Cafes, restaurants and the night markets are really close And the buffet breakfast, whilst predictably chaotic at times as there's lots of families) was wholesome and varied enough to be a great bonus.
