What recent reviews say
Five-star reviews praise the beachside location, cleanliness, and value for money. Guests consistently highlight sea views, friendly staff, and comfortable beds at a price that beats nearby alternatives. Many note easy check-in via email codes.
However, parking is a persistent frustration: spots are off-property and fees apply, leaving guests uncertain. Several report noise from construction, bells ringing at night, and light leaking through doors. The shared bathrooms are mixed-gender, and most rooms are small with limited windows. One guest warned of aggressive stray dogs on the nearby beach.
