Room was spacious and clean but some parts either needed addressing- stains on carpets, cracks in walls of bathroom and to be able to adjust AC according to own preference. Staff were friendly, kind and welcoming.. no hassle in asking. Breakfast - plenty of choices to suit all.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice location and really good breakfast. Room was very comfortable and well decorated. Location was great - right on the marina and walkable to a really great park and markets, shops & restaurants. Gym hours are limited (didn't open until 8am) and the temperature in it was too warm for me, but otherwise gym was great. Pool area was really nice, too. Hallways look dated but everything else looked great.

The only thing we thought could be improved was the buffet evening meal, there were not many choices and for €28 thought it was a little overpriced. We are not fussy by any means but with a choice of only salmon kebabs & lamb chops thought it was a bit limited. Apart from that the breakfast was good and lot's of choices. We absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely stay again.
