Advertising said there was a bar. Needs to be changed. Also no assistance with prepaid breakfast being refunded when unable to use. Bed was comfy. TV very small. Bathroom tiny. Stayed in better guesthouses.

Great place!
Beautiful hotel and a beautiful location. There is no elevator, so please keep this in mind if you're not in condition to carry your bags up potentially 3 flights of stairs. The location is excellent and conveniently located. We loved the walkability.

Nice place to stay for couples
We had a nice stay. It’s about 2 blocks to the beach. There is no lift and it’s 3 stories high! Rooms aren’t too big. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was great!! Paul is a great cook! We did have a problem locating the place. We also got there late and Paul wasn’t too happy, but the next morning he was ok. Pictures on the web are accurate. Great place for young and young at heart couples to stay
