We had a very large room with sofa and an armchair as well as a dining table and chairs and a kitchen area. We were on the first floor with a fantastic view to the beach and sea. Hotel was on the Main Street so everything was just 5 minutes away.

Gute Lage, aber zur Zeit leider eine Baustelle direkt vor dem Hotel und die Zufahrt ist erschwert neben der Lärmbelastung... Wir sind der Meinung, dass dies bei der Buchung ersichtlich sein sollte. Wir hätten dan ein anderes Hotel gewählt oder es sollte zumindest viel günstiger angeboten werden.

I am so sorry to hear that the road works impacted so heavily on your stay with us. Unfortunately the road works completion was delayed due to technical issues. Our location is normally one of peace and tranquility and I am very sorry that you didn't get to experience this. Kind regards Liz
