Categories

Cleanliness
8
Rooms frequently described as clean with daily housekeeping, but several guests reported issues (strong sewage smell in one room, complaints about moquette/carpet and some odd room layouts), so cleanliness is good overall but not flawless.
Service
10
Consistently excellent: staff repeatedly described as very friendly, attentive and helpful (early check-in, luggage holding, upgrades, special birthday cava and cake, warm welcome), making service a standout feature.
Location
9.2
Generally strong: within walking distance of restaurants and the beach for many guests and praised for rooftop views; one report mentioned needing to Uber for some destinations, but location is overall very convenient for holidaymakers.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms praised for very comfortable, extra-large beds, balconies, AC and fridge; some negatives around layout (odd shower/room arrangement), missing large mirror and lack of bathroom sockets or a reliable hairdryer.
Amenities
8.7
Good boutique amenities: rooftop breakfast restaurant, tapas bar and a pool area well suited for adults-only guests. Balanced by reports of a small/very cold pool at times, crowded sunbeds and occasional lack of pool staff.
Value for Money
8.3
Mixed: several guests praised excellent price/quality and good value, while at least one guest found it overpriced for what was offered, so value is slightly above average overall.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Very positive: breakfast repeatedly described as excellent buffet, well replenished and enjoyed on a rooftop with views; minor notes about limited variety from a few guests but F&B is a strong point.
Overall Experience
9
Overall highly recommended by many reviewers: pleasant, tranquil boutique hotel with attentive staff, great breakfast and comfortable rooms; a few practical issues exist but they do not outweigh the generally excellent stay.

Cons:

O pequeno-almoço podia ser melhor para um hotel de quatro estrelas o quarto tinha uma pequena deficiência no teto que não se admite para um hotel com um preço bastante elevado.

Leuk hotel voor enkele dagen
Pros:

Personeel is enorm vriendelijk en alles is proper.
Leuke ontbijtruimte op de bovenste verdieping van het hotel.Ontbijt was lekker met voldoende afwisseling.
Kregen een kamerupgrade naar kamer met balkon wat wij enorm apprecieerden.
Je kan je auto makkelijk parkeren.

Cons:

Hou niet zo van vast tapijt als vloerbedekking.Ondanks dat alles zeer proper was en iedereen zijn best doet vind ik tapis-plein niet zo hygiënisch voor een hotel!
Jammer van de donkerblauwe kleur in gangen en kamers. Het maakt alles heel donker.
Zwembad is klein maar zorgt voor de nodige afkoeling.
