Great 4star hotel in the centre, we recommend it trully
Pros:

The location-right near the old harbour, the staff very kind, speaking good English, the swimming pool and bar on the terrasse, staff very friendly, everything for the real 4star hotel. The room very nice, bed confortable. A lot of diferent food to choose for breakfast. The parking at the hotel cca 17 EUR/day. We recommend it 100%. We would come again.

Overpriced for what you get.
Pros:

Good location and parking is onsite, although you have to pay

Cons:

It was incredibly overpriced for the amenities that were provided. There was powdered packaged coffee in the room…but this was pretty inadequate for the 260 euros paid for a room. The only thing that made it worth it was the pool, but this opens at 10am so if your check out is at 11am it is difficult to find time to enjoy this. Rooms are not soundproof. We’re staying at a budget hotel BnB tonight and I can honestly say that it is better than the Mercure.
