Don't expect dollops of atmosphere in this
modern venture, but rooms are spotlessly clean and the location is great. Ask for rooms
101, 102 or 103, which come with a balcony. Air-con is only available in the more ex-
pensive rooms. Added perks include private parking, a communal kitchen (for breakfast
only) and a laundry area. Prices drop by €5 if you stay two nights or more.

modest venture in the pinch-a-penny category is located in a quiet street north of the

Pro: its position right on
the beach is peerless. Con: its location off the main boulevard cops the full brunt of the
peak-hour traffic noise (and the nearby food vans in the evening). The hotel benefitted
from an extension and renovation program in 2013 and now features 15 rooms, most of
which overlook the beach. There's an on-site restaurant.
