Very disappointing experience overall.
The hotel is old and does not match the price or expectations.
There was no air conditioning which was ok and we could not even open the windows because of the mosquitoes. On top of that, the room was directly facing the ramparts where people constantly walked by, so we had to keep the curtains closed the entire time for privacy. As a result, we could not enjoy the sea view at all.
The toilet lobby/common bathroom area was extremely dirty, with paper and trash left on the floor. This was unacceptable for a hotel at this price level.
The worst part was the taxi situation. We asked the hotel to call us a taxi, and they ordered a large private vehicle even though we were only two people with one very small suitcase. We were charged 20 euros for a ride of less than 2 kilometers. For comparison, the taxi from the train station to the hotel had cost us only 8 euros.
When I called the hotel afterward to ask why they arranged such an expensive ride, the staff was rude and unhelpful. They simply replied that we “should have asked for the price before.” They clearly knew a normal taxi would have been sufficient.
Overall, very poor service, poor value for money, and not an experience we would recommend."
