I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The room was beautifully decorated with a new updated bathroom and a cozy four-poster bed. The big shower was a luxurious touch, but the double bed sheets could have been changed more frequently. The location, while on a hill, was just a short 10-minute walk from the town center, striking a balance between tranquility and convenience. The dining experience was top-notch with a good variety of food options. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a pleasant stay overall.

The hotel is situated on top of a very steep hill, offering a quiet area while being just a 10-minute walk from town, providing a central location to reach the seafront. The dining experience offered numerous freshly cooked options in a conservatory setting. However, the lack of storage space in the rooms was noticeable, and the towels and bed sheets weren't changed frequently enough.

My room on the ground level was cozy with a comfy bed but lacked sufficient storage space. The issue of not changing the double bed sheets or towels promptly was a downside.

The hotel sits up on a hill with everything close by, offering a quiet retreat just a short walk from town. The rooms are beautifully decorated with modern facilities, though the steep hill can be a challenge. The service is top-notch, with friendly staff making every interaction a pleasure. The on-site dining, while serving good quality food, could use a bit more variety. Overall, a great location with excellent service but accessibility may be an issue for some.
