We loved the hotel's excellent location, just a short walk from the beach and local shops, which made exploring a breeze. The spacious outdoor areas were perfect for relaxing or working, and the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, always providing useful tips. The strong WiFi made it easy for us to stay connected, and having a well-equipped kitchen was a bonus for self-catering.

We absolutely loved the location of the hotel, as it was just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by shops and a farmer's market while still being in a quiet area. The facilities are spacious and well-equipped, including a fully stocked kitchen and cozy common areas where we could relax. The owner was incredibly friendly and laid-back, frequently offering fresh coffee and engaging in great conversations. the cleanliness was generally maintained despite the high turnover of guests, and we appreciated having private bathrooms in the dorms.
