  : Positive: Basically the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is very nice directly on the sea and very good proximity to the beautiful old town within walking distance.The hotel has good breakfast but a little too small and less choice than usual. The quality of food and drinks is very good . The suite is large and modern but very uncharitable and bare. Clarification: We had already booked in many hotels the more expensive suites , you always got additional small services (eg fresh towels in the evening , it was asked in the late afternoon if what is needed , small sweets in the evening , fruit or water every day , flowers in the room , sometimes daily newspapers , reserved table at breakfast etc. etc all that ..!!!....costless service because you pay the suite ...) ,... none of this is here ,..it seems as if a suite was built and that's it ,..
  : Negative: we had paid suite upgrade this unfortunately does not correspond to a good price performance ratio despite discount. The suite is large incl. terrace and jacuzzi but has many small / larger defects or traces of consumption. For example, the terrace floor is broken several times and is dangerous (was only a carpet laid over it??) Whirlpool (water was never measured during our stay chlorine / pH value balance etc.) ... The so-called shower in the suite is part of the bath and simply a complete misconstruction, large or corpulent people can really have problems here. Connections are tlw. broken off and would have to be replaced. The seals are functional as the shower consists of foldable parts on the bathtub thus water runs onto the floor. ( I would recommend the hotel manager to shower in the suite and please 5 times a week) .

  : Location on beach front, clean rooms, modern decor
  : This is a bed and breakfast masquerading as a 4 star boutique hotel. Staff were pleasant enough but untrained, not proactive and seemed to prefer hanging together in the air-conditioned bar area than clearing breakfast tables or servicing the beach area, although they did respond when specifically asked. The restaurant is no longer operating, the bar is very limited, and there is no laundry service. The ultra-modern decor is spoiled by poor maintenance: our key-card door had to be locked manually, as did the in-room safe because the keypad was broken. The air-con unit was efficient but very noisy and needs routine maintenance. The breakfast was limited and unimaginative; hot dishes were invariably cold and on 2 days there was no fresh fruit apart from a couple of rock-hard pears. There was no sign of a managers presence front of house at any point during our stay. In all it was a perfectly acceptable bed and breakfast but not worth the price in its current state of operation.

  : Its a perfect location to easily walk into Novigrad. Its on the seafront and its easy to go swimming. there is a public footpath between the hotel and the beach.
  : Its too expensive for what it is. We stayed in a deluxe room with a sea view and balcony. The balcony does have a sea view but it doesnt get the sun. Breakfast was really disappointing, it was a buffet with no menu and nothing cooked to order. The fruit wasnt ripe. You can eat breakfast outside the hotels front entrance but youre right next to a public footpath. It doesnt feel like an exclusive luxury hotel (which it should do for the prices it charges). Nothing is included, there are 10 or so sun beds available but they will charge you additionally. They also rent them out to non hotel guests. The beach is a public beach. Parking is convenient but costs extra. There is no complimentary water in the room.
