“What strikes me most is the genuine warmth of the host; it seems their welcoming attitude truly defines the experience. While the accommodation may be simple and a bit dated, the location near the tram stop is convenient for exploring the sights. For travellers who appreciate heartfelt service over lavish frills, this could be a surprisingly rewarding stay.”

The hotel's location was definitely a plus. It was near the train station, also opposite the beach. Everything was quite close by. I was able to park my car with no issues.
