Great stay right in the heart of the old town

Lovely stay Rooms big and clean (not 100% sure about the open shower when we first got there but it was ok) Roof terrace was lovely and relaxing It is noisy at night till circa 3am due to its location above the old town strip but the hotel provides ear plugs and you’ll need them. Overall a wonderful stay

8/10 Very good

The hotel is five minutes away to the beach and close to bars and restaurants, plus free brakfast. During our stay we hear thuds from the room above us around 3 a.m. maybe from people coming back from partying.
Fredisminda, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is lovely and recently renovated. The staff were nice and accommodating. It is very important to understand that this hotel is located directly on the Main Street of old town. It is extremely noisy. Also, our room was a bit weird, as there was no door to the shower.

Paul, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel lovely location good but level of noise at night was way worse than expected the room was literally on top of nightclubs. Also room very small no storage or anywhere to put clothes. Staff really nice. Apart from noise and small room everything else good. £150 taken from card on check in for security deposit.
