Lovely stay after a long day's travel
Pros:

We had a lovely 2 days stay at Hotel Miramar after a long travel from The Netherlands. The location is perfect, direct access to the pier and beaches, yet very calm and relaxed. The staff was very friendly and we can recommend the restaurant

Cons:

No complaints, or issues except for an inside door handle that was loose (easy fix). The Hotel has one EV charger but this was sufficient at this time of year

Pros:

Die Lage ist fantastisch und die öffentlichen Bereiche haben eine charmante Atmosphäre.

Cons:

- Unser Zimmer hatte einen Ausblick auf eine nahe Wand!
- Das Frühstück endet wochentags um 9:30 und für ein Resorthotel etwas zu früh.

Pros:

Location was amazing. Loved sitting out front of the hotel in the evening havjng a drink (...or two!!) The No. 43 resturant was really lively and the food was really good. Bhumika and Jessica made us so comfortable and were very accomodating during breakfast and evening meal. Thank you so much.

Cons:

Our view over the roof tops from our room was a little disappointing, next time we'll definitely book a sea view.

I am not coming back
Pros:

The hotel is close to the beach which is good and a reasonable distance to town.

Cons:

It needs a proper revocation.The prices you charge are not worth the hotel.The furniture is very old,everything is old i must say.To me it looked like a 1970’s hotel costing a leg,for what??For Being a walking distance from the beach??No.You guys need a serious revocation and a sound proof because we could hear footsteps the entire night.
