charming stay!

seafront location easy access upper floors

i found a lift to upper floors, it really helped. the lounge overlooked the sea. a bus stop located next to the building gave me easy access to the whole island. i appreciated the seafront location a lot.

my room had limited ventilation, i found this a bit inconvenient. the window could only open a little. it affected air circulation significantly.

Dining

the breakfast selection had very good food choices. i noted they cater well to vegetarians and those needing a gluten free diet. i think it's an advantage.

Rooms

my room was larger than average and spotlessly clean. the bed was comfortable, this guaranteed sound sleep. i find the piping hot water in the shower especially lovely, it helped me relax.

Location
