A friendly place to stay a stone throw from the beach and a short walk to the old town.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly. If the room was missing anything we could ask for it and they would help.
The room we stayed in was big and had two balconies.
Room service was very respectful of our privacy.
Great location, 20 minute walk to the center of the old town and 2 minutes from the beach.

Cons:

I didn't like that the kitchenette was not stocked with dishwashing liquid, so we had to buy our own bottle.
I did ask reception for some but they explained that was not something that they provided so I guess they expect guests to bring their own.
It didn't cost much at the local store so it's not a big issue.

Pros:

La amabilidad del personal, su disponibilidad para que tuvieramos una estancia agradable, sin olvidar la presencia de los gatos que venian a recibirnos a la vuelta de la playa o se qudaban a dormir con nosotros

Cons:

La calle de la entrada es cutre y menos mal que nos tocó una habitacion que daba a la piscina

Pros:

Erittäin siisti ja viihtyisä huone. Henkilökunta erittäin mukavaa ja avuliasta. Sijainti erinomainen, lähellä rantaa sekä vanhaakaupunkia.

Cons:

Kuja hotellin edessä aika törkyinen.

Jättefint och trevligt hotell
Pros:

Sköna sängar och kuddar. Trevlig personal. Bra AC. Ren och fin pool. Bra frukost. Parkering finns men är liten och rymmer 3-4 bilar. Annars gäller parkering på gatan, vilket kan vara svårt. Rekommenderar hotellet. Inte billigt, ligger bra till stranden.

Sauberes Hotel mit Toplage
Pros:

Das Hotel war super! Wir hatten so viel Stauraum im Zimmer, sodass wir nicht die ganze Zeit unsere Koffer im Weg standen hatten. Die Lage ist wirklich hervorragend. Direkt am Strand und ein katzensprung in die Altstadt! Alles wunderbar und das Personal unglaublich herzlich! Wir werden wiederkommen <3

Pros:

Great Stay by the Sea!
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The location is perfect — just a short walk from the beach and the city, which made it easy to enjoy the sea every day. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and offered everything I needed for a relaxing stay. What’s more, the price was very reasonable, especially considering the quality and location. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway by the coast. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Great stay. Thoroughly recommended
Pros:

Great, small, quiet hotel with lots of comfortable sun beds around the pool. Lovely superior studio, which they sent a video of before we arrived to show us what it was like. 2 minutes walk to the beach and short walk into the old town. Staff were lovely and friendly.

Cons:

Not really a fault but no bar next to the pool but they served great range of drinks and delicious snacks.
