A Real Gem
A very welcome friendly atmosphere at the hotel. Very helpful and informative about the surrounding area. The hotel room was beautiful . Lots of room with a large balcony and lovely view. The room was updated but had retained some old world charm. The bed was large and comfortable.The town was off the main road and within easy walking distance. It was very quaint with lovely shops and restaurants. The beach was close but was slightly rocky so beach shoes are helpful.

Bait-and-switch with no refund and food poisoning
Booked the Sea View suite, but got a different room: "yeah, it was booked twice, so you got bumped". Refused to give any refund or make ANY goodwill gesture. The breakfast is pretty bad overall, and I got severe food poisoning from it (suspect the eggs, which I believe had salmonella). The showers are claustrophobic and the AC has a funky smell (but is, admittedly, very quiet). "All rooms are sound proofed" is a joke, the local youths on their mopeds running up and down the street come through just fine, especially as the bathroom window didn't close properly. There are MANY other good options here and this one is one to be avoided at all costs. This is the first time I have experienced such a difference between hotel rating (which is overall very good) and my experience.

Simple hotel at the village entrance
We stayed there for one night, our room was located on the third floor with a very nice view over the bay. The hotel is comfortable and spacious, our overall impression was ok but there are still opportunities for further enhancements. Neither advertised WiFi nor safe were available during our stay and hotel has no elevator. Good breakfast and convenient location, helpful staff.

One member of the staff (old man) was very rude to us couple of times. For this I would not recommend this hotel. Part of his problem was heavy drinking.

Wonderful hosts and a lovely port and beach.
Wonderful hosts looked after us so well. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely room at the front of the hotel looking out to sea. Parking was easy and it's a 5 minute walk to the beach or the port/town. Incredibly pretty town with loads of tavernas. Beach also lovely with sun beds and tavernas- just buy a drink. We only stayed one night and wished we'd stayed longer. It's an older hotel but it's very clean and we had a wonderfully comfortable bed- not hard like so many. It was very windy but the beach and town were very sheltered. Safe swimming for children.

Wunderbare Aussicht und freundliches Personal
Herrliches Panorama über das libysche Meer mit riesiger gemütlicher Terrasse. Sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet und sehr freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal. Das Zimmer ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es gibt keinen Lift, aber das ist gutes Training. Die Altstadt und der Strand sind binnen Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen, Supermarkt neben an.

Das Hotel hat keinen Aufzug. Das Gepäck muss man selbst in die Stockwerke tragen. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist nicht wirklich einladend. Lauwarme Eier, kaum Frucht, viele Süßspeisen und ein bedingt geniessbarer Kaffee. Das Badezimmer ist sehr klein. In der Dusche konnte man sich kaum umdrehen. Der Duschkopf fiel aus der Halterung, wenn man das Wasser abdrehte.

Hôtel très agréable, le personnel vous accueille avec le sourire et s'intéresse à votre séjour sur l'île. Les chambres climatisé ont un décor atypique toutefois ils sont équipées d'une bonne literie. En ce qui qui concernent les petits déjeuner il y a pas mal de choix (sucré et salé) mais je trouve le prix un peu cher pour des produits qui ne sont pas fait maison.
