Cleanliness
1
Generally acceptable housekeeping but several mentions of sloppy cleaning (reused/same sheets), poor-looking towels and an instance of a sardine in the pool area.
Service
1
Repeatedly praised: reception staff described as very friendly, attentive and helpful across multiple reviews; staff offered small extras (champagne) and made good impressions.
Location
1
Consistently highlighted as a major positive — central, very close to the beach, quiet street and within walking distance of shops and restaurants.
Room Quality
1
Multiple complaints: small or interior-facing rooms with poor views, outdated decor, some rooms very hot (floor issue), noisy near the pool, and several mentions of missing fridge and bathrooms needing minor reform.
Amenities
1
Mixed: rooftop/tak pool is a bonus and praised, but often not usable (empty/off-season), described once as more like a bathtub, and there are issues with towels and a showerhead/support.
Value for Money
1
Mentioned as very good value in at least one review; overall price-quality seen positively given location and service.
Food and Beverage
1
Breakfast frequently praised for variety and quality (fresh juice, good toast, menu options) though some reviews note slow service or tight serving hours.
Overall Experience
1
Majority of guests report a pleasant stay and willingness to repeat; positives in staff, location and breakfast outweigh but are balanced by room/amenity issues.

Katastrophal
Pros:

Lage

Cons:

Abgesehen davon, dass das Hotel in die Luftgeflogen ist, als ich im Zimmer war, weil irgend ein halbstarker an den Gasleitungen getüftelt hat.

Hat sich mein kompletter Aufenthalt wie Schinkenstraße, Malle angefühlt.

Nachtruhe ist hier gleich 0, auf sämtlichen Zimmern war es Nachts bis 3 Uhr laut, es wurde gesungen, geschrien, Musik mit offener Türe gehört oder man ist gleich mit der Musikbox die ganze Zeit über den gang gerannt.
Mein Zimmer war direkt gegenüber vom Fahrstuhl, die Wände sind so dünn, man hört alles aus den anderen Zimmer, wirklich alles.
Das Badezimmer hat jeden Tag nach Gülle gerochen, selbst bei offenen Fenster, keine Besserung.
Zimmerservice hat nur das Bett gemacht, Boden und Müll leider nicht.
Auch gab es nur den kleinen Mülleimer im Bad und keinem richtigen.

Noch dazu habe ich noch immer nicht mein Geld für die letzten Nächte für das unbewohnbare Hotel bekommen, ich wurde mehrfach angelogen und hingehalten genauso wie booking.com, diese leiten nun weitere Schritte gegen den Inhaber ein. Wirklich eine Frechheit aber schön zusehen, dass es die richtigen getroffen hat.

Auch so und es war auch sehr beruhigend, dass trotz explosion, austreten Gäste, Feuer und dicken schwarzen Rauch, der Alarm manuell ausgelöst werden musste ...

Repetiremos seguro.
Pros:

Nos encantó la ubicación porque está muy cerquita de la playa. Además el desayuno fue estupendo, con su buena tostada ,zumo natural y bolleria amplia.
El personal fue amabilísimo con nosotras y estuvo atentos, nos deleitaron con una copa de champagne, qué mas se puede pedir.
La piscina no la pudimos disfrutar porque ya estaba vacía y fuera de temporada.
