Mooie locatie. Goed hotel.
Pros:

Prima hotel. Mooie locatie. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Kamer was goed voorzien en schoon. Ontbijt was oké, niet echt bijzonder. Bedden waren hard, te hard voor mij. Verder hadden we helaas behoorlijk overlast van onze bovenburen. Veel geluid en het leek of ze de hele kamer aan het verbouwen waren. Maar voor 1 overnachting vonden wij het een prima hotel.

Cons:

Bedden waren voor ons echt te hard en het ontbijt kon beter. Omdat de vloeren van hout zijn, hadden we waarschijnlijk veel overlast van de bovenburen.

Comfortable stay overnight before catching Le Shuttle (25 min drive away) with lovely see views, big comfy bed and good
Pros:

Big 180 wide super king bed with wonderful sea view by the front promenade and good size room. Stylish but keeping the old history and style of the hotel. Easy to walk to nearby very good restaurants- Greek/Cypriot one near.

Cons:

Tiny old lift! Bathroom had absolutely no shelves or tops to put wash wash bag etc. Also parking was very limited and hotel does not really have its own parking just a handful of expensive reserved spaces at the front of hotel that seem to be all taken. We got the last space along the sea front free 8pm-8am and then pay on metre outside those hours. Otherwise there’s a walk to an underground parking.
