    The location of the hotel is just wonderful. We were delighted to be upgraded to rooms with balcony. Amazing to wake up each morning to the sight of the sun rising over the bay. The rooms were spotlessly clean .... as were the other parts of the hotel we saw. The staff were friendly and helpful ... particularly when arranging taxis for us. We didnt have breakfast in the hotel but we enjoyed dinner there twice.

    Lovely big room, very clean with two huge beds just for me. Nicely decorated, tasteful lighting, and large TV. Coffee machine, ac. A huge bathroom with rain shower in a big cubicle. All spotlessly clean. Location is up the hill but there's a lift which goes down one level and then on the way back up you have escalators which made it easy to access the hotel. The seafront and many bars and restaurants are minutes away. Lovely friendly staff.
