Comfortable stay
The room is very clean and comfortable and the hotel staff is very good and friendly. The toilet was choked during our stay and the maintenance staff came and settled the problems immediately. We can see part of the sea from the window and the view was nice. The only drawback was that there was no drawers in the room and it was a bit difficult for storage.

Eenvoudig hotel en kleine kamer, zonder ontbijt. Prijs voor een kamer veeeel te duur, vergeleken met hotels in de buurt. Inchecken alleen mogelijk na 15:00 uur. Om 15:00 uur staat al een lange rij om in te checken. Heb 1 uur in de rij gestaan. Borg van 100 ringit eveneens vereist. Nooit meer.
