How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

From a 12 m² budget single to a 30 m² sea-view suite
The two smallest are both 12 m²: the Budget Single Room, with a single bed and a large bed and a street view, and the Economy Room, which fits a double bed and two singles and sleeps up to three, which is tight at that size. The Standard Room at 15 m² and the Superior Double Room at 17 m² each sleep up to three as well, the Superior Double adding a city view.
For three travellers wanting more space, the Superior Triple Room at 25 m² has two twin beds and two queen beds and sleeps up to three, while the Economy Triple Room and the Deluxe Triple Room are each 20 m², the former with four single beds and a large bed and a street view, the latter with a single bed and a large bed and a city view.
The largest room is the Suite Room with Sea View: 30 m², a queen bed, sleeping up to three, with the sea in view. The Superior Suite, Sea View, is 25 m² with a queen bed and the same outlook. Solo travellers have two options: the Budget Single Room and the 13 m² Superior Single Room, which has a twin bed, sleeps up to two and looks onto the city.

Babysitting offered, with children allowed
Babysitting is offered, which, with children allowed, makes the hotel workable for parents who want an evening to themselves. A paid airport shuttle handles arrivals and departures.
Check-in, check-out, children, pets and parking
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed, and the hotel has no parking, so anyone arriving by car will need to park elsewhere.
Who it suits and who it does not
Families with children are welcome, and the triple rooms and suites give them room types that fit three.
It does not suit pet owners, since pets are not allowed, or travellers arriving by car, since there is no parking. Anyone wanting generous space should look to the 25 m² and 30 m² suites rather than the 12 m² budget and economy rooms, which are best for one or two people.
