We loved our superior double room, it was well heated and modern looking. The staff did all they can for an amazing stay. Near the beach. Besides, it was at a medium distance from downtown, that worked for us.

Everything was so good and the staff were super-friendly. We stayed in the dormitory room, it was relaxing and the bed was good. There was a MODEST restaurant, shops and a supermarket next door.
