In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Guest-favorite staff — Reviewers repeatedly mention the friendly, helpful team and owner, with staff scoring 9.5 out of 10.
  • Quiet but central location — A 10-minute walk from the port and close to a quiet beach, yet tucked away from the main bustle.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place — the hotel has a strict no-pets policy.
  • Check-in window is tight — Arrivals are limited to a 14:00–22:30 window, so late-night landings need planning.
  • Standard value score — Value rates slightly lower than rooms and service (8.9 vs 9.3), suggesting the price-per-night may not feel like a steal to everyone.
