Fijne locatie met mooie studio
Pros:

Fijne locatie, dicht bij strand en stad. Mooie studio met balkon.

Cons:

Onze studio, en vele andere kamers, kijken uit op het zwembad. Dit vond ik persoonlijk wat minder ivm geluid en privacy.

Great location and cute apartment.
Pros:

Lovely studio apartment with gorgeous view. Location was excellent, can walk everywhere. Cleaned rooms and new towels every two days.

Cons:

Pool appeared to have a scum on top and had items like stones, leaves and sand so possibly just needs more regular cleaning. Apartment needed new pillows.

Zeer aangenaam verblijf, zelfs voor 11 dagen, een aanrader!
Pros:

Studio was net groot genoeg met alles erop en eraan. De stilte van de omgeving, ondanks zeer dicht bij het het oude stadsgedeelte.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niets.
Als ik toch iets moet zeggen, is dat het water van het zwembad soms een beetje te koud was..

Perfect for solo travel and proximity to old town center
Pros:

The location was exactly what I aim for, just far enough out that you don’t have the noise of the city center, but you can walk everywhere within ~ 10 mins / 20 mins to the marina area which I really enjoyed. Street parking near the fire station was also a plus ( 2 minute walk )

Cons:

Shampoo and body wash quantity were small. Ring your own beach towel for ease of pool use.

Excellent place to stay, we've already passed on the contact info to friends
Pros:

Great location inside the old fortress walls in the city centre. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean was in the distance but easily visible and still close enough to hear the waves crashing on shore.

Cons:

Our room was a bit smaller than anticipated but certainly adequate, it even had a small kitchenette area that was useful. We felt a loveseat or small sofa may have been a nice addition if space allowed.

Pros:

Loved the small kitchen and access to the pool. It’s in a great location to shops, restaurants and beaches.

Cons:

The front desk is only onsite a few hours in the morning and again in the afternoon so you do need to be mindful about your arrival time, if you need pool towels, etc. They were very friendly and helpful!

Alt i alt et bra hotell som vi varmt kan anbefale.
Pros:

Sentralt beliggende med nærhet til både strand og by, passelig stort basseng. Stille og rolig område. Fint oppussete rom.

Cons:

Ingen basseng håndklær, fikk vite etterpå at de leide ut, men synes det kunne være gratis.
Litt knirkete og bevegelige solsenger ved bassenget.

Suck a beautiful place. The room was perfect and the pool area gorgeous. We had an amazing room and a rooftop terrace with spectacular views. The staff was very helpful. I would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend. Very centrally located with easy walks to shop and restaurants.
