Nice boutique hotel with a great location by the city center. Not ideal if you have your own vehicle. The room and atmosphere is great. Breakfast in the morning is great to. However, I did have issues with the shower having no water pressure for the hot water for the night I was here. Would have been a 5 star rating if not for these two factors.

Cute hotel at a very convenient location. There’s a great sitting area with an open roof in the center of the hotel. The staff was very accommodating and let us extend our checkout and leave our bags in the breakfast room for the day because we had a late flight. Check out Chalali restaurant for a great meal within walking distance.

Good breakfast. Cozy bed. The room has nowhere to dry your bathing suits and they provide no facility to do so in a town right next to the see... Toilet has glass walls so you have no privacy in there... You have to do your own check in for no reason at all. Stuff could be more polite. Price could be cheaper.
