Brutal. My room was tiny, bed uncomfortable and there is lots of street noise. I couldn't sleep until 3 or 4 am. I showed up before noon and the girl promised to hold a quiet room on the top floor for me. I came back late and found out she didn't do what she promised. Instead, I was in a room facing the street, 1 of the noisiest places to be. You're paying for the location, if you want to be in Old Town

Great central hotel, walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants and local interests. Staff very kind and helpful. Probably not for you if you like a quiet holiday as nightlife is quite loud and lively.

Noise from other guests were not the fault of the hotel. Did not spoil the trip and would come back again, with ear plugs. Bars and noise from outside was apparent when the doors are closed but not loud enough to prevent sleeping in my opinion. Roof bar was a treat and spent most days, barman Christophe was very attentive and funny.

Great location. They let you rent beach towels for a small fee but very useful and helpful if you want to save some luggage space and not bring a beach towel. The beach is a 2 minute walk away with tons of restaurants, shops and entertainment. Would stay here again.

Awesome place to stay!
We went on a mom/daughter trip and could not have asked for more! This place was in just the "right" location! The price was good, it's just on the outside of all of the live action at night so you could couldn't hear it. It was steps away from the beach too! Easy to grab a taxi or uber. We let the girls stay out on their on because it felt very safe - they are 18.

Amazing hotel at the centre of old town. 2 minute walk away from the beach. Lots of shops nearby. The hotel was clean and the staff and cleaning services were great. Marta, specifically, went above and beyond for me when the hair dryer in our room stopped working. I believe this was only a fault in my specific room and they had it fixed instantly. The view, the balcony and roof top were also great. Loved this hotel and would recommend to all.

The location is great because you’re in the heart of the city centre but don’t expect to get any sleep because the music and the partying is blaring until 5 am! If you’re there to party then it’s a great location.
