We had a lovely sea view room with a terrace and we loved watching the sun set over the water. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful stay. My husband has health issues and the staff consistently went above and beyond to help meet our needs. They were friendly, courteous, and empathetic. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach, stores, restaurants and the cafe. Can’t wait to return!

Clean room. Great staff. Great location. Great view
Nice hotel facing the lighthouse. The hotel interior is a bit old fashioned, but absolutely okay and well serviced. Super friendly staff and great view from the west balcony to the sea. Try the Tripa in the little hut in front of the hotel.😋

Nicht wirklich, schön. Betten klapprig und fallen bald auseinander. Zimmer zum Innhof, bei uns Nr.207 laut, da die Angestellten Glasflaschen entsorgen und sich am Abend unterhalten. Ambiente im Frühstücksraum nicht schön.
