10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful place!
Raul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a great, economical option during the summer, as long as you know what to expect. Generally, there are very few people around. The walls are paper thin, though, if you do get a neighbour, and be warned that two rooms share a bathroom between (co-ed). I find the XL twin bed very comfortable but the pillow inadequate. WiFi is great. Many rooms have a view over the city to the water.
