Parking note. Problematic — Underground garage is expensive (€15/day), cramped with poor navigation signs, and guests report being locked out after check-out despite pre-payment.

What guests report

View
Sea-view rooms on upper floors facing the promenade offer best panoramic vistas; rear-facing rooms overlook construction or internal courtyards with limited appeal.
Bed & mattress
Mattress quality highly inconsistent—some guests report overly soft/comfortable, others claim excessively hard or causing neck pain; Superior rooms may have twin mattresses rather than proper queen configuration.
Bathroom & water
Modern bathrooms with spacious showers and large shower heads; hot water reliable; shower enclosures have sliding glass doors.
Wi-Fi
Reported as impeccable and fast by guests working remotely.
Breakfast
High-quality buffet with sweet and savory options, fresh pastries, cured meats, cheeses, eggs, gluten-free selections, fresh juice—worth the cost and highly praised.
AC / heating
Heating/cooling unreliable in some rooms; guests report rooms being excessively hot in summer despite AC; one guest noted AC still set for winter mode; some rooms have loud/noisy AC units.
Elevator
Available

Local knowledge

Request a sea-view room on upper floors for better noise insulation away from the pedestrian promenade below.
Book spa sessions on weekday afternoons to avoid crowding; weekends and evenings get very busy with 20+ people.
Spa is NOT included in room rates; budget €15-60 per person extra, plus €5 for rental equipment (robe/slippers).
