Great stay in great location
Pros:

Would have like a room as per picture but was great for one nights stay and a lovely warm room. We had an issue but it was very quickly resolved on New Years Eve too!

Pros:

The apartment has amazing view to the beach and a great location. It was very warm when we entered the room. The apartment was well equipped with plates, cutlery, coffee machine, kettle, under-counter fridge and microwave which we found very useful.

Cons:

The table was to low for us to eat from it. There was so damage in the bathroom (walls and next to the sink). We were unable to use the balcony due to the bad weather and the windows with the view to the beach cannot be opened due to the weather conditions.

Great location, warm, clean and friendly - didn't want to leave.
Pros:

We were there to go surfing and the location could not have been better! We were in the family rooms and they were great for our purpose with lots of space. The beds were comfy and rooms were warm, smart tv that you can connect to for streaming, and the kettle and microwave were great for heating up some food for lunch. The staff were super friendly and the accomodation was dog friendly.

Cons:

I'm aware there are plans in the works for a room with a kitchenette - that would be perfect! The only missing thing would be somewhere to hang wetsuits in the bathroom but that's a niche request.

Óptima estadia
Pros:

Óptima localização, zona muito tranquila e a minutos a pé do centro da cidade. Edifício e quarto renovados recentemente. Excelente escolha da decoração. Casa de banho espaçosa e muito bonita. Apesar do quarto ter vista para o páteo/parque de estacionamento é muito tranquilo. Muito útil a disponibilidade de microondas, máquina de café e frigorífico. Equipa da manhã muito simpática e prestável.

Cons:

Tudo de acordo com as nossas necessidades.

Great.
Pros:

Lovely view of the sea from the window. Very convenient location with parking.

Cons:

I thought there were too many comms. Not sure if that was a Booking.com thing as don’t usually use the company. Also, we didn’t get our final joining instructions until the arrival day which felt odd (with so many other comms flying around) and caused me stress. If one of the comms had said when would receive final details, I would not have worried.

Als je het leuk vind om in een grot te slapen, is dit the place to be.
Pros:

De locatie is prima, praktisch in het centrum. Ruime badkamer met goede douche. Alles is netjes en schoon. Uitstekende WiFi.

Cons:

De kamer heeft 1 klein raampje en kijkt uit op de binnenplaats. Je voelt je erg opgesloten. Het geheel is gedateerd en kan een renovatie gebruiken. Geen enkele info over wat er in de directe omgeving te doen is. Er zijn messen, glazen en kopjes e.d. maar geen borden?

Pros:

Tuve que extender mi estadía por dos noches, debido a la tormenta de nieve que canceló los trenes y buses. Cuando reservé dos noches más, tanto la dueña como el personal me ayudaron a coordinar todo y me dejaron en la misma habitación, para evitarme problemas, fueron super amables y consideradas. Totalmente recomendable el lugar, no solo por las instalaciones, si no también por la calidez humana con la que te tratan. Se esfuerzan 100% en hacer de tu estadía lo mejor posible.

Pros:

Uno de los mejores lugares en que me he alojado! Excelente habitación con todo lo necesario para estancias largas o cortas, frigobar con botellas de agua que reponen todos los días, lo mismo con el café o té, reponen o puedes pedir todos los días. El personal es uno de los más amables que he conocido, 1000/10! Queda justo frente a la playa y a unos minutos caminando del centro, así que tienes acceso fácil a todo, tiendas, supermercado, restaurantes, etc. Totalmente recomendado!
