"Was a facinating hotel. Never stayed in a jail before. Rooms were basically three cells made into a double bedroom ensuite. Very tastefully done."

"Good value for families. Easy drive to Pastro."

"We have stayed here before and would stay again, it’s a fair price, more than just clean and tidy room (see more below), in a central location for exploring locally or getting in and out by car, and it has parking. This time we stayed in a room with a sea view balcony, which had a lovely view and was clean, tidy and comfortable but with a modern and homey feel. There was a spare radiator and fan in the room in case of weather change which was a comfort nice to have the choice in our hands. The breakfasts were excellent! My fave was the smashed avo & poached with sourdough toast, closely followed in equal second place by the yoghurt with berries and buckwheat pancakes with bacon & maple syrup! The front of house staff were unfailingly helpful but were a little stretched so not always to be immediately found but possibly this is as we stayed out of season. Two things to give as a heads-up. First, whilst it’s clearly stated in the room, in case you don’t read it immediately like us and as this approach changed since our fist stay there last year, until you ask for cleaning services /fresh towels for your room, you will not get these. Second, and we stayed at the end of Sept/early Oct, and we don’t drink anyway, but in case it’s important to you, the bar was not open during this time. However, there are several bars & cafes within a minute or two’s walk. To end on a good note, the allocated parking was very useful and, at a charge of £10 a day, quite reasonable, in my view. "

"Very nice food and beautiful place "
