Our favorite hotel so far in Europe. The facilities are great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You must have the breakfast. Eggs are cooked to order and the breakfast is served at your table. Fresh fruit, squeezed orange juice, great coffee, yogurt, muscili and lemon cake. H

This is one of my all time favourite hotels, real character and exceptionally friendly staff and owners. It is like one big happy family. Wonderful view of the Sea from their upper deck and some rooms. Real attention to detail. The breakfast provided was wonderful, high quality and great selection. They were very helpful in helping us plan where to go and went out of their way to make our stay perfect. As The Eagles song says “You can check in any time but you can never leave”, indeed I hated to leave and wished we had stayed longer! Ian MacKenzie

We loved staying here and we will definitely stay again. Very nice eateries nearby and cheap shopping options on the other side of the road (found some nice cashmere scarves for 6.5 eur when in town the same kind were 10 or above). Very nice and quiet, clean and loved the many lights! Also, the lady at reception was very kind to keep our luggage until we were ready to leave for our flight, well past the checkout time so we could explore unencumbered. 5/5

Stayed here for two nights in November. 2024, really liked it, room on the 4th floor was a little bit more dated than the room on the second floor, which was beautifully appointed. Overall a very convenient place to stay, about 20 minutes. Walk two the center of town with tons of shopping and dining opportunities. Highly recommend, would stay again.

Great location - walking distance to beach, restaurants, old city, museum, and fortress. Beds are very comfy and AC is excellent. Lovely rooftop garden to watch the sun set in the evening. Breakfast is top rate - perfect coffee with hot milk, warm freshly-baked rolls and croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice, granola, and yoghurt.

Great location, and a cozy and medium sized hotel. 30 minutes walk to old town, but the bus stops just outside the front door, and cost 1.4€ 2 minutes walk to the beach, which is also great. Friendly staff, and a plated breakfast. Highly recommended

Quick one night stop over before catching flight home next day. Lovely friendly reception, but you need to let them know before arriving if you need parking. Don't assume there will be room when you arrive. We were fortunate. Room very large and clean and lovely modern bathroom.

This was just a two night stay following a trip to Granada that left us close to the airport. The Hotel is 5 minutes from the beach and about a 30 minute pleasant walk to the Cathedral and town centre. Hotel was clean and well presented. Staff were helpful and the breakfast excellent. All-in-all a pleasant stay.
