Good location, handy for nearby shops and restaurants. The property is clean and good value for money but is looking tired and in need of some TLC. We wanted to use the swimming pool but were told by staff that there were no sunbeds or chairs available.

Room was one of the cabins. Basically a metal box that a room was made of. No closet. No place to hang anything up. Heater small for room and took a while to heat the space. The hotel is in a great location. Walkable to many restaurants.
