Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is superbly located right on the seafront road in the quiet resort of Gouves, just moments away from the beach. The rooms were a bit of a mixed bag, with some issues like a leaky fridge and rusty mattresses, but overall comfortable and spacious. The dining experience offered a decent selection but could be improved in terms of temperature. The service was efficient, and the staff were friendly. Facilities were satisfactory, though some minor maintenance could enhance the overall experience.
The hotel room was clean and fresh, but the photos online did not match reality. While basic, the room was spotless. Sadly, heavy rain caused leaks in the corridor and some rooms, which I hope are fixed soon.
I had a great time staying at this hotel. The rooms were basic but comfortable and had everything we needed. The service was excellent, offering various amenities like car hire and laundry. The location was superb, with stunning sea views and a welcoming atmosphere. The dining options were limited, but the fresh fruits were enjoyable. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel is right on the beachfront road with good beaches within walking distance and plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants adjacent. The rooms were fine, and although there were some rusty light fittings, they didn't spoil our holiday. The service was very good, offering car hire and wedding services. However, the dining options were limited with some dishes not meeting expectations. The location was lovely and spotless, making it convenient to explore local shops and restaurants.
I loved the fantastic location of the hotel, right by the sea and close to the beach. The rooms, although basic, were spacious, clean, and had a lovely terrace with a table and chairs. The service was attentive, offering amenities like car hire and laundry. However, the dining experience was underwhelming with limited breakfast choices. The facilities were clean and well-kept, making it a comfortable stay overall.
