Pros:

The hotel is in a beautiful old building, the roof top terrace has a gorgeous sea-view. My room was big and spacious.

Cons:

My room had a balcony and view on the road, hence was a bit noisy. The bathroom shower and toilet are not very comfortable. The hairdryer is not working. The safe is not working. Hotel is not reachable by car, therefore (if you have a lot of luggage) not comfortable as you have to walk via



some roads before you reach it. Breakfast service is a bit tricky. Maybe as it was low season, nothing was prepared in the morning and I had to wait quite a bit.

Pros:

Fantastic breakfast served in the most beautiful roof top restaurant looking over the old town and ocean and boats. Huge rooms. Comfy bed. Great massage in the wee spa. Lovely reception and staff. We booked in again after our safari it was so good. Nice pool for a dip after being out in town. Cold beer on the roof at sunset.
