A wonderful and simple hotel. Our room had a balcony overlooking the sea (south east facing) with just a narrow road in between. Simple comfortable room.The wifi worked well. The AC was good, the bed was comfortable and the shower great. Breakfast, eaten on the terrace, included a 'hot' choice as well as the cold meats, cheese, fruit and yogurt. Friendly staff. A 5 minute walk to the many tavernas. There is a lift. Our second visit to the hotel and there will be a third

Breakfast was a good variety; the space was perfect.

View from the room - out over the Libyan Sea. Buffet breakfast with big selection of high quality foods. Accommodating and helpful staff. Proximity to good taverns for dining. We were able to eat breakfast outside on the terrace with a view out to the sea.

The bathroom was not well designed. When u shower, the water spills onto the bathroom floor. There is a drain outside the shower to catch the water.. but the floor remains wet. The bottom of the cloth shower curtain was not clean upon our arrival due to this water build up from prior guests. We lived w/ the situation as everything else was good.
Great water views, hotel staff were very attentive. Breakfast buffet was delicious & different every morning x3. Great seating area with comfy couches on front deck/porch.

The room was good with a lovely sea view but we think the room was a bit tired and needs updating. More hanging space and hangers would be useful, not that we watch television much but a flat screen television would look better. A waste bin in the actual bedroom rather than just the bin for toilet paper in the bathroom,little things that would make it more comfortable.
The location is very good you can walk to so many taverna's The staff are excellent, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good.

The view from the room was interrupted by utility cables. Obviously no fault of the hotel, but still a fact.
View from the room - out over the Libyan Sea. Buffet breakfast with big selection of high quality foods. Accommodating and helpful staff. Proximity to good taverns for dining. We were able to eat breakfast outside on the terrace with a view out to the sea.
