Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a beautiful spot by the sea with lovely walks nearby, and the staff is very friendly. The rooms are spacious, although they were not very clean and could use a refurbishment of the wardrobe. The dining options were good but starting from 7:30 is a bit late for some, and having only a cold buffet is a drawback. Overall, the hotel offers great views and a nice setting for the price.
The hotel offers a no-frills experience with relatively basic rooms that are very small and of old standards, with windows that cannot be closed entirely. However, the location is amazing right by the sea with beautiful walks nearby. The dining experience had its drawbacks with cold buffet options. Overall, a decent stay for the price paid considering the stunning location.
The hotel had some issues with poor ventilation and dampness in the rooms, but the location was beautiful with local walking paths available. Waking up to water running down the windows at 4:00 am was not ideal.
The hotel had poor ventilation and was damp, with water running down the windows before we even showered. However, the surrounding area had local marked walking paths and the property was well-lit during daylight hours.

I felt like I was staying in more of a backpacker's place than a hotel, but it had its charm. The rooms were no-frills but nice and clean, giving off a cozy old-fashioned vibe. The size was surprisingly good, offering ample space to move around. However, the dining experience was simple, and a cold buffet being the main option felt lacking. The location was simply stunning by the sea, with lovely walks nearby, but the absence of dining options at certain times was a drawback.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with great views of the surroundings, but some areas showed signs of mold. The location is wonderful, perfect for walks close to the sea.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable but in need of a refurbishment, and I noticed some mold in the bathroom. While the accommodations were no-frills and basic, the price was reasonable. The service was decent, but nothing extraordinary. The location, although beautiful and convenient for ferry access, felt a bit remote. The dining options were lacking, but the snacks were delicious. The facilities were average overall.
