Read Before Booking

If you are on a tight budget and plan to spend as little time as possible in the room (including sleeping) then this hotel is an ok choice. There is dim to no lighting in the hallways to the rooms, a basic doorknob with a key (no deadbolt or door chain lock), not great a/c, and the mattresses are thin and almost fold when you sit/lay on them. The views from the upper floors are great and the staff was very friendly and arranged for a cab to get to the train station. In-room wifi is not free (you have to go to the hotel bar to get complimentary wifi). This was not advertised on this site- though I recognize editing hotels.com profiles can be difficult. The vibe of this place seems to be toward a younger crowd (mostly teens) so keep that in mind.

Clean but noisy

The hotel room was clean but the noise level at noise made it hard to sleep. You can hear people talking in the rooms either side. The breakfast wasn't good plus the hotel doesn't sell alcohol! However the staff were friendly. Wouldn't stay here again.

Not as expected

Got moved from 1st room given. Very very tired rooms. Basic and chipped furniture. Dripping holes in both bathroom ceilings (although they got fixed). Mould in places and musty smell in room. Food was ok, plenty of variety. Pool was lovely, entertainment for kids at pool very good too.

Yikes

We HAD to stay here for a basketball Tournamnet. If you don’t have to stay here, don’t. It’s the loudest hotel I’ve ever stayed in- the doors slam no matter how you shut them and people were up all night long. (It sounded like a gun shot every time one closed, especially at 3am.). The place itself is completely run down. One of our player’s sink literally fell out of the counter. The food if you do full board is not edible... even the coffee was bad. As far as location, there are plenty of other hotels in the same area, so book one of them. One good note, the kids said the pool was nice. However, again- this hotel is a no for me.

Clean with hotel within walking distance to beach

Hotel was clean with great garden and pool area. No tea or coffee facilities in the room. The hotel did not serve any alcohol in the restaurant nor bar area. No entertainment was provided except for a tv in the bar area. There was no information in English only French, German, Polish Dutch and Russian. Very little in Spanish either which would have been useful.

The hotel is in need of some maintenance and repair but overall, it was ok. The standard of food was not bad but it was very busy in the restaurant. The location is 5 mins walk from the beach, but it was situated amongst some poorly maintained buildings.

Es un hotel antiguo, y a pesar de los comentarios de otros huespedes, nosotros estuvimos bien. Nuestra habitación triple con balcon, vistas a la piscina... estuvimos muy agusto. Lo unico a mejorar serian las camas que se notaban los muelles y una estaba hundida. El restaurante bastante bien. Se llena mucho pero siempre reponen. Y lo mejor es la ubicación, cerca de todo.
