The hotel is ideally situated in the city center next to everything (excellent supermarket next door), in front of the docks with sea view, and yet it is so well isolated that it is very quiet. Our room was very spacious and well maintained and thoroughly cleaned every day. Breakfast has a lot of variety, both buffet and 'to order' options, all very fresh and good quality. They have a beautiful spa/sauna area with a well-equipped gym. Underground parking with exit right in front of the hotel is 10€/day. Staff was always friendly and helpful. I would come back here again!
