This is obviously a fairly newly opened hotel, the rooms are clean and fairly well appointed, with fridge and blackout curtain. There was complimentary water on the first day. The large bed is actually two single beds pushed together making a super-king. The bed wasn't the most comfortable I've ever slept in and quite hard. Only one long microfibre pillow per person and a small cushion shaped pillow. Bed is dressed nicely with scatter cushions and blanket (I always discard these, not knowing who has sat on them!). Functional shower room, clean but no make up mirror and the lighting is quite dim. Complimentary shampoo and soap are of the basic variety so you might like to bring your own. Hairdryer is provided but very weak. Shower leaks a bit onto the floor and the hot water is fed from solar panels so if it's been a bit cloudy your hot water will be tepid. Nice breakfast, attentive and friendly service. The small pool outside is a real sun trap and it is nice to sit outside with a book. A few niggles and points for other travellers: no car park, the streets are incredibly narrow and the hotel is situated on a steep hill so you have to be confident with your driving to negotiate your way there. If you're lucky, you might get a parking spot outside (if you're confident parallel parking on a hill) – if not there is plenty of parking at the bottom of the hill, but it is quite a walk up with luggage. There is no concierge, you are given a key code to enter and a key card for your room. At the time of our stay, the lift was broken. There is no handrail on the staircase and if you are leaving early in the morning the staircase lighting is not switched on so you will need a torch. Despite there being no information on the website about rooms with balconies, I did notice one room had a balcony/terrace which looked really nice. One final point, the doors to the rooms need to be shut really firmly otherwise they fly open for no apparent reason once you have closed them! The town is very picturesque with quite a few restaurants to choose from. A great place to stay overall.
