Wonderful Staff and Great Location

friendly staff professional service amazing eggs good breakfast
The staff were friendly and professional. They greeted guests warmly. They seemed to enjoy their work and were always ready to assist. Breakfast service was good, even when the breakfast room was busy. The poached eggs were especially amazing.
The room was warm, and I would have liked to open the windows more fully.

Heartfelt hospitality

warm smile efficient service sea view cocktail bar
The staff greeted me with warm smiles and efficient service at all times. My sea view room provided a lovely sight each morning (it started my days wonderfully). The hotel features a new cocktail bar, and I savored good drinks there each evening. The general cleanliness throughout the hotel was excellent.
The bathroom mirror light in my room flickered continuously, a minor annoyance .
Dining

The food offered a great selection each night. Every meal proved delicious. Fresh vegetables accompanied the well-cooked dishes, and portions were plentiful. The breakfast includes made-to-order hot dishes, alongside a buffet with cereals and fruit.

dirty bathroom poor soundproofing
I was a bit disappointed with the cleanliness. I found some hairs in the bathroom, and the floor didn't seem properly vacuumed. The soundproofing wasn't great either. I could hear conversations and noise from the hallway. This made it difficult to relax and sleep well. I think the hotel should pay more attention to cleaning and sound insulation.
