- Situated just 100 meters from the beach, the hotel allows guests to transition from urban sightseeing to seaside relaxation in minutes.
Things to Consider
- The large outdoor terrace and its sun loungers operate on a seasonal basis, meaning autumn and winter visitors cannot fully utilize these outdoor amenities.
- Located next to the Olympic Port, the immediate area can get busy with beachgoers and nightlife, though high-quality room soundproofing mitigates the noise.
