Budget but great. Did exactly what i wanted it to do for a bargain price. Not sure on the wild cats everywhere, but not much they can do about them, short of shooting and cooking them... Probably wont go back as we like to sample new places but it is worth everyone trying it.

If you are looking for a place with a great view, it is not your choice. From both bedrooms, we could see only the walls of the neighboring buildings and a small backyard with equipment. The main room (hall) had big windows and a door, looking on the opposite side of the town (this view was quite nice but not extraordinary). The rooms are big enough, basically equipped, nice, and clean. The apartments have a big balcony with a table and chairs. The kitchen is equipped with everything necessary in good condition (all equipment worked fine). The place is comfortable located as there are the city shopping mall nearby and the beach 10-15 min walk with all touristic infrastructure (bars, cafes and etc.). But in the rooms it was quiet enough. Angry Birds park 5 min away and one municipal children playground nearby. The sandy beach is very good even for the kids to swim (when we lived there were no big waves at all). The hotel have two swimming pools: one for kids and another for adults. It ws claimed that they are heated. But we noticed that if one was heated another was not. Three things bothered us: 1) Narrow spiral stairs on the second floor (we had a lot of luggage and it was uncomfortable to carry everything on the second floor). 2) There was no free wifi (and it was more expensive to buy it even than to use your subscription in the roaming, we came from Finland). 3) Very small clotheshorse. At first, I didn't find it, but then I did (it was integrated into the wall on the balcony). It was too small for our company of 5 people (2 adults and 3 kids), and it was uncomfortable to dry towels and swimming suits.
