I have stayed at this hotel at least once in each of the last five or six years, only for a night or two at a time, but I find it much better than the other reviewers. It is true the rooms are simple and bathrooms small, but they are clean and adequate. The location and views are lovely and if all you want is a place to rest and sleep it is perfect. Breakfast is good and the restaurant in the evening serves excellent meals in a nice setting. The staff I have encountered have been helpful and the manager very friendly. I also feel it is reasonable value - 69 euros for a double room in high season (plus breakfast). My one reservation is that it can be rather noisy until about midnight (or even later) when the market and musicians are on the quayside - which appears to be every night in the summer.

I happened to stay in that hotel during a diving trip with my scuba diving club. During one of the dives, all the keys were left at reception. When we got back to the hotel, my room had been opened with the key, which was supposed to be under the manager's very own supervision. He refused to hear any complaint and was very rude to us, denying the problem completely and refusing we could have any doubt about his own staff. The next day, another member's camera mysteriously disappeared, and after complaint, mysteriously reappeared... weird. In the weeks that followed, the manager wrote to our club's director and complained about the reviews I had left on Lonely Planet's forum. he's just made me want to spread the word even more... if you go there, for your own safety, try and avoid that place.
