The hotel is situated at the top of a steep hill, which may not be suitable for everyone due to mobility issues or if traveling with small children. The rooms need a lot of attention as they are old-fashioned and show signs of grime, with noise from the pool bar and air hockey room potentially disrupting sleep. While the location is ideal for exploring, it may require transportation to access nearby facilities, making it important to consider alternative accommodations.

The apartments are in a convenient location next to the swimming pool and right in front of the train station. The rooms were clean with an excellent shower/bath, but there were only 2 small cups provided even though the booking was for 3 guests. The only downside is the steep hill to access food and drinks, which can be challenging for older guests.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the service was helpful with local information and the location was excellent for train travel. However, the room I initially got was noisy as it overlooked the hotel entrance, and the cleanliness and maintenance of the room left much to be desired.

The hotel is located at the top of a hill, not ideal for those with poor mobility. The rooms are spacious for a self-catering apartment. Close to public transportation which makes it easy to explore the area, but the mismatched beds and springs in the bed settee were a downside.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms need a lot of improvement as they are old-fashioned and not properly cleaned, but the view from the room I stayed in was fantastic. The service was accommodating and helpful, with a minor hiccup due to a new cleaner's mistake. The location was excellent, right next to the train station for easy traveling but with some noise concerns. The dining options were not up to par, and the facilities had both positives and negatives.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room size was perfect, and although it needed a bit of cleaning, it felt like a cozy upper-level studio apartment. The service was outstanding, with staff who were attentive, pleasant, and always willing to help with great English skills. The location was superb, right next to the Torremuelle station, making it easy to explore the coast and nearby towns. The dining experience was a bit lacking in choice, but the facilities were great overall.

If you're not expecting a five-star hotel, it's a decent choice, especially considering the value for money.
