Nice hotel well situated. The shower was unusual - both inside and outside. Opened up breakfast early for us on our last day - much appreciated. Lovely staff.

I understand we where limited to our choices do to time of year. Floors in rooms where extreme slippery. Plumbing and overal mechanics needs attending.

The amount of stairs was insane. There was no phone in the room connecting to main office and so anytime you needed something or had a question you had to walk 5 flights of stairs to talk to them. They were only there until 7pm so had to time it right to reach them. They were very friendly and helpful in the main office. The room cleaning was substandard and I had so many bites below the knee on both legs from what I think was ants in my bed (didn’t see bed bugs) was a great location for the public bus and a variet of restaurants close by.

No wifi in rooms, our shower door was broken and the rooms were very dated. A bright light shone straight into our window and even the curtains wouldn't block it out. The breakfasts were not as personalized as our previous hotel's breakfasts-- I think that we were quite spoiled by this point! Overall, we would have chosen a different hotel had we known these issues. The front desk staff were friendly.

Staff were helpful in enhancing our experience. Private pool and breakfast areas. Problem with room door lock wasn't resolved.

Great and enthusiastic people; only so-so environment. Could use some updating and a bathroom door. Excellent location. Might try Byblos next door next time.

Was hoping for something with a sea view! It was a nice little hotel and convenient for beaches and national park but we did find a cockroach in our bedroom.
