Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a historic charm with rooms that can feel a bit outdated and lacking in modern amenities. While the ambiance may not be ideal for a romantic getaway, the sky views offer a unique experience. The service can be inconsistent but shows some friendliness and flexibility. The location is perfect for beach lovers, with stunning sea views, though proximity to an airport may lead to some noise. The dining options provide good food but may suffer from organization issues at peak times.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The spacious rooms with a ping-pong table and all sorts of board games were a fantastic touch, and the view towards the beach was simply spectacular. Although the rooms are a bit dated and could use some refurbishment, the early check-in and late check-out with a view of the sand dunes made up for it.
The hotel is in a perfect location right on the beautiful beach of "Solastranden" with magnificent sea views from the room. The room was large and well-decorated, though the bed was small. The staff was very welcoming and responsive, offering a packed breakfast for us when our flight was delayed. The restaurant served delicious and varied food during our 3-night stay, making it a fantastic value for money.
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The room was spacious and had a lovely sea view, although it was located behind a fire door with some electric cables hanging from the roof. The service was exceptional; the staff was exceptionally polite and even offered me a packed breakfast when my room wasn't ready immediately. The location was perfect, right on the beautiful beach 'Solastranden,' offering magnificent views of the sea, although it is more suited for a summer vacation. The dining experience was exceptional, directly located at the beach. The facilities were great, and the hotel had good taste in its decoration.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was unfortunately tiny for a double bed with limited seating to enjoy the sea view, not quite what I expected from the pictures during booking. On the bright side, the room was spacious and comfortable with a great view over the beach.
