Great location and option for a short stay.
Pros:

The location is excellent and every room has a sea view. There are lots of cafes and restaurants nearby and of course the lovely Strand. The pool area looked good, but we didn’t use it.

Cons:

There’s no allocated parking so on our first night we had to park on the free street parking. Our room was dated, it could use a facelift.
