Good and cozy rooms, we didn't feel like leaving.

Greatly enjoyed this beautiful and fairly clean hotel, met standard. Booked the venue for its favourable and exceptional location really close to the Harbour and the mountains, the mountains and the beach. It also was super close to the national park.

luxuriously equipped kitchen

inadequate bathroom facilities

The kitchen was luxuriously equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and enjoy a cozy home-like atmosphere .

The shared bathroom situation was inadequate for the number of guests, challenging to find a convenient time to use the facilities, especially during peak hours.

cozy lounge

inadequate bathroom

treacherous stairs

The hotel features a beautifully cozy lounge area.

The noise from other guests was unbearable. The shared bathroom situation was inadequate for the number of guests, as it seemed there was only one for the entire house. The steep stairs were quite treacherous, and I felt uneasy navigating them, especially when carrying luggage.

poor services

Stayed for 2 nights in a "double room with sea view". I got a view of parked cars instead. Disappointing, to say the least. Only one shower for ten guests? This is utterly ridiculous. I almost considered leaving a good review, but the lack of attention to our needs was outstandingly frustrating!

Manage Your Expectations for a Cozy Stay

Our experience was quite challenging due to the cramped quarters and persistent noise. The steep stairs were tricky, and the shared bathroom situation felt inadequate. If you're looking for peace, definitely avoid room 1. Just be prepared for cozy living and plan your luggage accordingly.
