Location is on the main road a few minutes from the seafront, easy walking distance to a variety of bars and restaurants. The room was small but comfortable, with a functional bathroom and small balcony (though the view was over the pool, the solid walled balcony meant that visiblility was mostly of other hotel rooftops). The hotel offers onsite parking (charged, underground) but I found a free roadside space on an ajoining street. Visiting off-season, the rate was good value for money but I doubt the on-season rate would be considered likewise

The air conditioning seemed tempremental - pressing buttons on the remote did not seem to do anything you'd expect. My biggest concern was security; on check-in, I was asked to leave my passport at reception (which is fine, a policy to be expected in many hotels). However, the passport was not securely stored, but was placed in the pigeon hole of the room key on a wall. When I left the hotel in the evening, reception was unmanned and the 'night porter' showed me how to access the hotel once the main front door was locked (from 10pm or so). They leave the sliding patio doors (right next to the front door, a few steps up from the public footpath) unlocked, so you simply slide the door to let yourself in and then close it behind you! On me return to the hotel (around 1am), I let myself in and spotted my passport still clearly on display at the unmanned reception desk. I would expect better care to be taken of important documentation!
