The hotel is conveniently within walking distance of key attractions, offering a 10-15 minute stroll to the beach, historic castle area and city center.
The slight distance from the primary tourist zones means guests can avoid the crowds while still having easy access to the beach, cafes and restaurants. Additionally, parking under the building is convenient for those arriving by car. Though the hotel is not centrally located, the short walk required to reach main sights and conveniences was not found to be overly strenuous for many visitors.

However, there are areas that could use improvement.
