"Do your research before you go, so you are ready for it, but once you do, you may actually enjoy it a lot. The hotel is very basic, super simple and outdated rooms with simple bathrooms (a bar of soap, no shower gel, nice white towels, good power shower), some stairs to climb. I got a small room with no sea view. The hotel is run by a lovely gentleman, very old style, with the handwritten check-in book rather than the computer. During this process he may tell you some stories. It has added so much character to our stay. We were standing at the reception desk for at least 20 minutes chatting. I chose this place for the location and availability on my date. I was worried after reading some reviews, but I wouldn't mind staying again."
