Quiet and Clean Stay
clean roomcomfortable bedhard pillow
The room was clean and very nicely decorated. Check-in was straightforward. The bed felt very comfortable. I found fresh milk in the morning for coffee. I also had a good stock of clean towels and toiletries like hand soap, hand cream, and shower gel.
The pillows were a bit hard. I understand it is summer, but the heating wasn't on, even though it was a bit cold. I also couldn't find an iron or ironing board, though the listing said one was available.

The hotel was close to the centre. It was only a stone's throw from the seafront. Accessing the town from the hotel was very easy. This made it convenient for exploring the area.
