We stayed here for two nights over the weekend. We came with fairly high expectations after seeing the hotel online and learning that it was newly opened. The weekend rate was also comparable to a five-star hotel, so naturally our expectations were quite high.
Overall, our stay was pleasant and we did not experience any major problems. However, considering the price point, there were several areas that fell short of expectations.
The room:
The room was new, clean, and comfortable. However, the soundproofing was poor. We could clearly hear guests in the next room talking and playing music, as well as conversations and people walking in the corridor. Fortunately, our neighbours became quiet before 10 PM, so it did not affect our sleep too much.
The bathroom was clean but had no bathtub. The balcony did not offer much of a view, and surprisingly, the TV was not a smart TV despite this being a newly opened hotel. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and we slept well.
Breakfast:
The restaurant is very small, with only around 5–6 tables, so guests need to reserve a breakfast time. Some guests had to sit outside, which was not ideal during rainy weather. Breakfast is mainly a la carte, with some bread available from a small buffet. The food was just fine.
Service:
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. We had no issues with the service.
Privacy & Atmosphere:
As this is a small 40s rooms hotel, we expected one of its main advantages to be a quiet, peaceful, and more private atmosphere. In reality, the limited space sometimes had the opposite effect. The restaurant is small, the common areas are quite compact, and there are only 5 daybeds by the beach. When several guests are using these areas at the same time, it can feel crowded rather than intimate or private.
This was probably one of the biggest differences between what we expected from a small property and the actual experience.
What we liked most:
The location is probably the highlight. The hotel is right by the sea, and the beach is clean, peaceful, and relaxing.
One thing we were slightly disappointed by was the overall artistic character of the property. We expected the design and atmosphere to have a stronger artistic identity.
Overall, this is a pleasant hotel that we would recommend if the room rate is reasonable. However, at the higher weekend rates, we found it difficult to justify the price compared with other hotels in a similar price range. If the rates remain at that level, we would probably choose another option next time.
