The hotel is located in a quiet, residential area also very close to the beach, offering a tranquil setting. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the shared bathroom setup might not be ideal for some. The service is friendly and accommodating, making for a pleasant stay. The wood-fired pizza at the dining facility is a delightful experience. However, the facilities could use some modernization.

However, the lack of dining options on-site could be improved. The hotel's value for money is reasonable, considering the tranquil location near the beach.

The location is peaceful and convenient, perfect for relaxation. The dining offers tasty hot wok dishes, although a bit limited. The facilities are basic but functional, and the price is reasonable for the value provided.
